M1 Single Plane Question

Are you only worried because it looks bad, or because it is showing problems with cylinder to cylinder tuning? The reason it has the T quad flange but both patterns is because bolting the carb to it does little to hurt performance on it and means those of us who do like the Tquads dont need the adaptor which hurst hood clearance on some cars. If you were really doing the intake modifying bit, there's a lot you can do to make gains. None of them would include filling the "wings" on the secondary side. I don't know the combo, so I can't really say if the 950 helps or hurts the combo. But in terms of intakes, the M1 is a good piece that does work on a large variety of packages well. If you are concerned with the pad and you're racing the car and are not concerned with hood clearance, try the Edlebrock Victor before you spend $300 on various special spacers. In most cases, major gains with a spacer mean either the wrong intake choice (possibly just the wrong tweaking of an intake), or the wrong carb, or both..

edit: I think this might do better in engines or MP section. That's why I didnt see it...lol
