What manifold are you referring the question to?  Slotting the manifold first and making it a divided plenum instead of four holes usually works quite well at increasing the volume and helping with turning the airflow into the runners without adding a spacer.  In dyno testing, we found a divider spacer can help to a point, but a divider with 1" or 2" super sucker type of spacer was better.  Joe-JDC
