Too much intake? RPM Air Gap on a stocker 360

One advantage Air Gap would have over all the others mentioned is the air gap. That will help insulate the carb runners and the carb from engine heat and will help performance in actual driving conditions. Especially in hot weather.
I see Seattle area where the op lives. It shouldn't be a huge issue. In fact I have read that Air gap intakes do tend to be a bit cold blooded. They are like a mini tunnel ram. They can turn sone decent numbers on a dyno with a hot street engine but they are overkill on a basic stock truck motor.
