Air Gap as in the Edelbrock Air Gap RPM's ?

They sure look like single plane intakes to me.

I need to know as there are models of spacers made specifically for each respective type.

I also need to get some idea of how much air these monsters need.

What is the targeted WOT rpm ?
What cylinder heads ? If ported, how extensive ?
Is your cam over or under .600" lift ?
And again, which intake manifold ?

Sorry more like a merlin. single plane max rpm 5400 .618 lift on the cams..I kinda over built the motors I know even a bigger carb.. 830 cfm now but I have a lead sled w/TRS and Borg trans..so I wanna keep it together...

Wilson Manifolds replica of the Super Sucker.

The SS was the first to come out and is still making more power than the others.

BTW: Wilson Manifolds is a very, very, very (did I say Very?) respected intake manifold porting company. Really one of the tops in the business.

They make good spacers, but usually don't beat out the Super Sucker. :bigsmile:

I am very sorry. I thought I answered this one but apparantly not. :dead:

The 2" (SS4150-2A) will gain a few more hp than the 1" (SS4150-1A) in your application.

If you have to modify things for the 2" - like fuel lines, hatch, or etc, then grab the 1".

As always, these spacers are available in the Speedwake store.

I am only going to turn 5K rpm and from the chart that was posted on this thread back in 05 it looks to me like I would not get much out of a spacer till I turned over 5K.
Is that an accurate assumption or would I have some benefit under 5K rpm.
I have an aluminum spread bore intake and an even bore holley. From some other reading I gather that the spacer would improve my flow due to the intake type being corrected by the spacer.
