The gasket raises the plenum but not the strut bar because the strut bar spacers are of a fixed heigth. And for the most part, you will need the strut bar spacers. It is pretty rare that you won't need them.

Your install should go just fine but if you have any questions, can give me a call any time.

I tried again last night, and I am sure that the strut bar spacers are needed.
Without the spacers, my strut bar will be touching manifold, and hard to be in place.
The best I can do is to adjust the strut bar to meet the original fastneing location
and hope it would be lower.
My hood is still bulge. I'll give it a few days to see how it goes.
BTW, I only have a basic 5/16" spacer.

are our hoods adjustable? i guess this wouldn't fix the bulge but may allow it to clear the strut bar.
