Less contact with the engine (the gap under the carb) means less heat, less heat is guuuuud I almost got it in black and changed the color scheme completely but I am goin for polished, or satin painted to match the block. That's a whole other project I'm going to tackle soon
If you plan on driving it when the temp is below 50F, you might regret the air gap choice.
You need heat in the intake when it's that cool out.
Could be a tuning nightmare for you.
