Default 1" or 2" carb spacer

I am running a blended ( 4 hole to open ) billet aluminum 1" spacer on a Edelbrock air gap manifold. 509 bbc 500 hp. Will a 2 inch same type blended spacer help?

That's usually a trial and error thing.

I run 2" spacers. We dynoed 1" spacers and did better down low and in the middle but only a couple of HP at 5700. The 2" was less in the middle, but surprisingly add 20hp at the top. It's all a matter of what the engine combo likes best of course, but most of the folks I've talked with always did better numbers with the 2".
