Re: HVH super sucker carb spacer
I think the general consensus from the prior thread was that they are a good tuning aid if you're looking for something different to try. While there's a potential power gain - it probably won't be very much.. and in the scheme of things, $100 for 5 horsepower just isn't worth it. The results vary for everyone I've talked to that has tried using the spacers, so it really just depends.. is it worth $100 to you to find out? Personally, I can find plenty of other ways to spend $100 that are guaranteed to be effective.

Re: HVH super sucker carb spacer
You could buy a cheap, 4-hole phenolic spacer and make your own "super sucker" with a die grinder and some patience. I think mine cost a whopping $20. It made a huge difference in low speed driveability (increased signal to the carb maybe). It was worth it. However, I saw no gains at the track.
