Carb spacer..Power loss ???

[302efi]

I have a Preformer rpm intake with a 830 dp and a one inch spacer. I have to remove the spacer to fit the stock hood. What kind of gains/losses should I expect ???

It wont be more than a couple horsepower. If anything, removing the spacer will just make a little less bottom-end torque and little more top-end power (only moving it around, not really an actual gain or loss).

spacers are useless
