Do carb spacers really work?

Im looking at getting a carb spacer for a rochester 2jet. I've heard some good stories about fuel atomization and throtle response. little about the negitive side though thanks

2 to 5 H.P. are you really going to notice?

my 1970 glasspar has a 120 mercruiser with a monster cam and head.having fueling issues and fouling 2 of 4 plugs in about 45 min.I thought a carb spacer would help break up the mix. My Mastercraft has a 2000 310hp Indmar Preditor V8.

2 to 5 hp is not noticeable, but it won't hurt either. it will depend on the cost and difficult level of installing.

Dont think it will help a lot. Sounds like you have carb issues.

I have a calculator that will show how much speed increase per horsepower increase, all I need to know is current horsepower and maximum speed. I really doubt that 5hp would be noticeable, but hey, lets check it out anyway.
