It's really more of a plate than a gasket. It helps more midrange RPM power than anything. Most of spoon parts are geared towards road racing, not drag racing.

Venturi Effect, you notice the bar cutting through the intake port just below the injector notch? That is uses to create turbulence for better fuel atomization. Same thing as the divots on intake ports...

I'm sure that's the reason for port divots, but the idea behind the Spoon venturi plate is to increase the port velocity and increase mid range rpm VE... That's at least how it was explained to me by a Spoon rep.

I want to see Dyno Results.It's still a Ripoff!

Its made for classes with strict limitations, where if you can pull some HP out of it with a $350 part, you will cause it's legal, right? Like bunger said, their shit is geared towards road racing.
