In some of the aftermarket catalogs, you see these spacers advertisied as improving performance and gas milage. I have always wondered if they actually do work, (as claimed)
I do not intend to put one on my corvette, but I have this pick-up............
I would be interested in hearing from someone that actually did install one of these spacers, (on anything) and what the results was.

A spacer works w/ the carb & intake so if the carb was not sized correctly either a spacer or another carb could do it.
For C3, one place a spacer would be expected to help is the low Torker II on a BB where an open spacer should help.

They work well on TBI trucks and cars but I think 1/2inch is about the limit under the throttle body. The injector spacer I think is the easier choice IMHO . I wouldn't expect no more than 10hp

I get really poor gas milage with this truck, a 91 Silverado 2500, X-cab. New 350 crate motor with less than 5000 miles. It runs great, but poor MPG.
I'm not trying to high-jack this thread, I just want to know if these spacers perform as claimed.
Thanks, Steve

Well, I currently have a set of 1/2" cnc milled aluminum spacers and raised injectors. Going to take the spacers off which will give me room for taller air filters. I don't use the stock air cleaner but use two free standing air cleaners. Not worried about underhood air being hot as stock intake still pulls from under hood.
