I am using dual Weber 40 IDF's. 96mm cylinders c35 scat cam
#1 The Original "velocity stack" is a straight shot down the throat of the carb. #2 Shorter shinier velocity stack is for 40 - 48 IDF and leaves about a 1/8" lip at the top plate of the carb #3 The taller less shiny velocity stack says it is for DRLA & IDF 36 - 40mm but leaves about a 1/16" lip at the top plate of the carb I started to widen the inside of the #1 Original and thought it better to have a straight shot down the throat then it would be to have any bit of a lip.... however, I was recommended to use the non original velocity stacks and don't worry about the lip, they've "found it doesn't affect performance".... which seems counterintuitive to the ideas of porting, polishing, and general flow etc 1. Do you think opening up the original velocity stack and having the straight shot is worth it? 2. Should I not worry about the lip? 3. Is there a stack that would fit the 40 IDF specifically without covering a range? Attached thumbnail(s)

There are at least two different diameters on venturis for IDF carbs, so there might be velocity stacks with different diameters. See if your favorite carb vendor can set you up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
