I have been doing some research on T bodies and spacers. Has anyone tried the CFM-Tech spacer and how would it compare to say one from LMC, any difference. I know CFM claims that they are the best. I do want to upgrade from stock to their ported T body. Will the power plate actually do anything more than the spacer I have now? (Its from LMC)

I have an injector pod spacer, and noticed a little something...mostly a little less throttle to do what it was doing before. I will be getting the CFM-Tech spacer, AFPR, and doing the salad bowl mod.
The open spacer allows both plains of the Intake manifold to take advantage of both barrels. I have not heard one bad remark about any of CFM-Tech's products.
Trans-Dapt has one thats similar, but it does not have the smooth splitter that the CFM-Tech spacer has.

sounds like a go ahead for rebuilding my TB, thanks I did the math and for completely rebuilding with cfm is 250 dollars cheaper than buying the fully assembled holley from lmc, thats a pretty penny to do some other upgrades, dont know what i would do without this site and all of you.

That sounds good, like i said in another thread, you really cant beat the Rochester TBI's for reliability, they are made a lot better than the aftermarket options.
