Default Carb spacer

Well, as i cannot justify spending much on a carb spacer right now, like the HVH CNCd units, i ordered a cheap plastic piece(still expensive is it is a plastic CNCd version) for 15$ or something like that, as we know, a CNC job is just copying what someone did by hand or by computer draft, so, i am going to basically imitate what i see in photos with the cone in the middle just like a HVH ect, it might not get the exact results but i am sure it will be better than without. I will post pics of before and after when i get it and do the work, but when i get dyno time, i will do a with and without and also with the super vic that Nemess has.

LO<, that is a issue for me, and the thing is, a 2 inch spacer, and then i need to hope it can accommodate the nitrous plate as well if the bolts are long enough.

Here it is, the top is the holes untouched as the top is, and the flip side is my personal hand CNCd work, LOL.



Ported i guess you can say with my carbides and then i smoothed it out with the polishing roll. Not bad.



Still cleared the 4 inch hood as you would guess, LOL:
