Electro12WH 50 #1 Posted November 16, 2009 I have a basicly stock K341( mild porting, K361 cam). Besides the stock carb to block gasket, Kohler offers a thick 3/8-1/2 spacer gasket. Will using the spacer have any effect on performance? Besides isolating engine heat, will it have any effect on, say the torque curve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mazdamonster 0 #2 Posted March 5, 2010 Should not affect any flow or power curves if the ID is exactly the same as the carb and block. Some of the 70's muscle cars had those high rise manifolds and had absolute awesome power. The biggest deal is having smooth flow over the junctions of carb and block - turbulent flow always robs power by slowing your intake velocity (albeit only a small amount, but with an ID this small, it may make a difference). Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
