Trouble is each engine is different, and these vids can help get in the ballpark, but to maximize YOUR COMBO, you'd have to test it, and without back to back drag strip runs or a chassis Dyno you can easily cost yourself power. What I'm saying is you can't get their results and have it be optimized unless you do the same tuning/testing. Go out and buy a carb spacer thinking it's going to add 10 hp, and in your combo it could cost you 14 hp until you optimize your engines air fuel ratio, timing, etc. And keep in mind these are wot tests with very low coolant temps that are precisely controlled. In your car at operating temp with full exhaust, stock stall converter etc it will most likely behave very different due to the way the engine is loaded on the Dyno vs your car/truck. So don't rush out and buy a four hole spacer thinking you'll gain power and acceleration. The difference between a good engine and a GREAT ENGINE.. is this kind of testing, gathering data, and optimizing the car.

From personal experience, I went from an RPM intake to a Victor Jr on a 400 HP 383. 9.8:1 compression, 236/242 hyd roller, Victor heads. The loss of low end torque was noticeable. On a suggestion, I tried a 1 inch 4 hole spacer to get some low end torque back. It did help, but should have left the RPM intake for what I was doing. The four hole spacer helped with carb signal.

Thank You, Richard for the Magnum Series!. Too bad the M1 dual-plane intake had such a limited production run. They were around $300 each back in 2006. The water heated intake makes for good driving in cold weather- some vehicles are more fun when the snow starts flying. When these M1 dual -planes sells used for 2X what they cost new here is definitely interest. A Edelbrock Performer or Performer RPM for Magnum would be easy-borrow from the Magnum AirGap the intake to head section to bolt to the Magnum heads. The 5.9 Magnum had a production run of almost 20 years, millions made, going to scrap. All for the want of a bolt-on Performer, Action Plus, or Contender intake. Glad to see the Magnum get some attention. Go make some Magnum noise!!

4 hole beats an open design, WITH THAT PARTICULAR carb and intake. I would like to see the results when using an AFB or AVS in the 750cfm range. My 30 over 9.0 to 1 360 with a MP 450/455 cam and now Edelbrock spread bore dual plane instead of an M1, consistently made 8 hp and 14 lb ft more with an open spacer, than just sitting on the manifold. It made an average of 6 more hp with the 4 hole but only 5 lb ft, (that had to be mildly machined to accept the secondaries), over just the carb on manifold. Timing was using an MSD set at 34* at 2800, no vac adv. I will say this. The AFB did need some jetting and rod tuning because out of the box, it was lean down low, but way rich WOT. The AVS was better at low and mid range, but still rich WOT. Anyways enjoy your vids!!

Open spacer? Carb to open spacer then open spacer to 4 hole (4 hole to open then back to 4 hole). Turbulence possibly? I always thought that the open spacers worked best with single plane intakes but I could be wrong. Note the torque curve: Max torque is exactly where you need it in a pick-em-up or heavy van that might be pulling a load. Possible that the MoPar engineers designed it that way for a reason? I had a 98 Ram 1500, 5.2, 5 speed, 3.23 gears and it would pull an all steel car hauler with a Duster on it just fine in 4th gear. Cruise at 65 all day with cruise set.

I would love to see a 4.0 mustang engine 05 and up and or 4.0 ranger. Run it till it pops. Can it hang with the 4.3 gm? Or can it run away?

Richard, with a self learning TBI kit on instead of a carb, would the different spacers make a difference???

Would a carb spacer make a difference on a Blower application? One would think not, but can Richard prove it! What about single Carb blowers like the TBS 192 or a Weiand 177? Dual Carb Blowers 6-71 8-71, Let's see some testing!!

dual carbs help if the motor(blower) needs more airflow
