carb spacers

does anyone have any experience with 1" carb spacers? i have been going back and forth with a open plenum and a 4 hole design on my 302. it has a dual plenum intake. im wondering if the open plenum hurts the design of the intake by opening up the devider. i noticed the 4 hole gives good low end and the open gives good top end. im wondering if i should get rid of it all together. the 4 hole problably directs flow better to indvidual runners and the open allows it to suck from all barrels. ive heard both sides and cant decide.

I would run the 4 hole. The open spacer kinda defeats the purpose of a dual plane manifold.
