    i meant The aftermarket Intake heat risers risers when used with carb spacers.. see pic below........
    wondered what would happen if you ran both together...

    on another note..
    The 351c has a hipo street/strip cam,
    full lightened n balanced assembly(crank ,rods,pistons,Flywheel etc)
    port match,light polish on heads, 3angle seats,big valves
    aluminum hipo manifold 360, with 2" spacer n Predator >996cfm)
    and is mated to rebuilt FMX(stock Convertor) which in turn goes to a 50's narrowed Olds Rocket 88 Rear(cant remember Ratio)

    the current cam choice and spacer have raised my torque range to around where it needed to be, between 2500 n 5500-6500rpm..
    i was losing traction with too much bottom end torque, so figured moving the torque range with the cam n spacer would help get the power down once it the thing was moving....
    and it seems to have worked jus fine...
    was that the right way to do it??
