A few years ago when we went back to the ram air hood we needed all the hood clearance we could get to still run a dominator so we sent the Victor manifold to Branywine to have the carb pad milled down and he talked me into trying a "turtle". I was a little let down by how crude it looked but it works, car picked up everywhere on the track close to 2 mph too !!! Oh, I think we took a little more than an inch out of the Victor manifold. Has an odd look seeing a dominator all sunk down low  | |||

Stop it Ed. I evidenced the performance of a Reher Morrison sheer and anti - reversion plate. I've been around drag racing far to long for you to insult my intelligence, that chevelle won't go 1.28 if my Nova hits in the ass at 9.89 134. Nobody is worked up but you, I evidenced performance to help the OP with his decision on a spacer. Pay a little closer attention, I evidence everything I say. I ain't no whimsical preconcieved notion libtard.  | |||

you clearly ain't learned much and fall far short of the expert in everything bracket racing you try in vain to sell in everyone of your posts ad nauseam. FACT my former Chevelle was everything and did everything I stated. An impressive car to all that seen it run including HS professor for nearly 20 years in the Northeast, Mid Atlantic and southeast. | |||

Ed, call your engine builder tomorrow and tell him Ripper says he bolts a Reher Morrison sheer - anti- reversion plate on every engine he builds. Watch, I'll betcha they'll even agree it's a good idea.  | |||

I've tested the Reher-Morrison spacer/anti-reversion setup on several engines. Always seems to make 8-12 HP as advertised. Jason G. '71 Chevelle 3370 lbs w/ SBC 5.93 @ 116.7 MPH - N/A | |||

I love em. I remember when they first showed up in National Dragster 2002 - 2003, back then everyone I knew had a subscription to National Dragster. I picked up the phone and called Reher Morrison and the guy said you're getting one of the first, he said you're gonna love it, he was dead on. I've probably bought 25 since, we just bought one for a bad azz pump gas 66 Chevy II 23 sbc we're getting ready now. We just ordered a solid roller from Kirk at Bullet Cams. That thing will be fun to blitz the neighborhood in, obnoxious camshaft 8" converter. | |||

again, none of them are worth anything on the time slip. | |||
|

so if it is worth 8 to 12 hp on a typical engine and they are $70 from R-M then add $20 for shipping the typical gain would be in the thousandths on the time slip would be my guess. not saying it may not be a nice addition to the intake but I still say 1290 is correct in that virtually no gain will be seen on the slip. ep-if it makes you feel faster spend the coins and buy it. that's what I do | |||

when the super sucker plate came out everyone says it was worth et as well. I knew a guy at the time who ran the d@mn thing upside down for a year before someone told him it was wrong. flipped it over and ran same thing. ep | |||

I had racers tell me that they ran quicker and/or faster with their spacer upside so I tried that too years ago.  and of course no change in ET or MPH. | |||

Weld a 4500 top on a 4150 SV2 intake and, port the intake for 35-40hp and bolt a Reher - Morrison sheer - anti reversion plate on top it'll idle like a dream, was my thinking. 35 - 40hp plus 12hp will be alright, I'll be satisfied with that. Worked out alright, ya'll won't find anyone nationwide all steel 3250 lbs with out of the box Brodix T 1's 1.27 60 ft dipping in the 5's n/a. Maybe Ed can get some help from his engine builder on this. This is just some junk I had, I threw together to prove to myself how easy I could run a 5 n/a, with pretty much the same car I drove to work for ten years.  | |||

if you say so but ya'll will find at least one, all steel 3250 lbs green with white stripes '69 Camaro with out of the box All Pro 220 SP 1.27 60 ft running low 6s n/a with a 4150 carb, 10" converter, mufflers and has never hit a timing block. Same car that was driven to work for over 10 years and raced for 30+ years | |||

Call your engine builder ed, maybe they can supply you with the evidence you'll need to support your whimsical claims.  | |||

Not to change the spacer topic, why wound any builder use a 20 plus year old intake on their BBC builds today or even yesterday? Back to spacers, poor designed or outdate designed intakes, mismatched combos can see more benefit from certain spacers vs a well design and matched combos. | |||

Nobody has made that claim, a person would have to be a fool to make that claim. Ed doesn't like I suggested a Reher Morrison sheer plate while evidencing it's performance 1.27 60 ft dipping in the 5's n/a but can't evidence any of his claims, if we're gonna debate you're gonna need evidence, otherwise it's hearsay defeated by my evidence . As far as Brodix T1 not supporting the power dip in the 5's n/a 3250 lbs, it's already been done in a handful of runs. Do ya think Bradenton is 600 ft or SGMP? Otherwise it's a chit slinging contest and no one learns anything or gains. If that's what ya want I'm out. I can do that a local protest.LoL | |||

He probably got installation instructions from the same guy who uses a four hole carb gasket under and open carb spacer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |||
