Yes I did say save your money and still do.
The season I use one is because I went to a BBK-80mm TB the spacer was 1" thick
had it machined to 5/8" with a taper so every bore piece lined up correctly. They
machined a grove in different places around it , so the air could try to spin around
at the manifold opening. Work or not who knows.
