Sorry, just realized you had the spacer. Spout off at the mouth too soon.

opcion :
1- crank - vforce3 - R&D intake manifold (like ProSouth picture)
2- crank - R&d spacer - vforce3 - R&D intake manifold (left side of the picture)
3- crank - vforce3 - R&d spacer - R&D intake manifold (right side of the picture)

Being a reed spacer. I would bet you put the spacer against the cases. If you didn’t you would just be making your intake track longer and the reeds would be in the same spot. Changing the intake does make a difference, but then you’re not really using them as “reed spacers”

Just read some old threads, I’m not claiming any of this knowledge, but some big dog builders were saying backing the petals away from the fluctuations in pressure right up against the crank, and add longevity to your reed life... it makes sense.
I had been researching this for jacky and came across a reed stuffer/spacer debate thread.

But I always thought the same thing mike, a short intake tract is good for bottom end.

Knowledge is king and I have none on subject. When designing a manifold for production these guys must weigh all options and I guess the benefit of lenghtening is out weighed. However if there is trait you're after I guess adding spacer allows you to accomplish that. Just curious what that trait is.

2. Crank-spacer-reeds-manifold would be my guess

My knowledge is minimal and I try to read and listen when experience is talking. I’m fortunate to have direct contact with a couple builders on total opposite sides of the spectrums. One being a freestyle guy and the other being a kawi race ski builder.
@ProSouth, I was looking at this OE manifold last night and realized if the spacer where installed with this set up, it would go against the case moving the reeds and manifold away from the case like you mentioned. These Reeds screw to manifold and seal against the manifold so it can only go one way.
Vforce float making it confusing. looks like the intended placement of the spacer is against the case
Edit: forgot the pic lol

Yeah the oem are far different. I believe the spacer goes against the cases also.
