Main issue seems to be clearance issues with stud mounts.
I've run the half inch spacer on an NL and the tps rubbed the bonnet insulation mat. But i've now got 11R heads and a Trickflow R manifold. Running the trickflow rocker covers, which are a medium height rocker cover, and there is no need for an intake spacer.

Nearly all the aftermarket rocker covers are too tall, but the trick flow ones are a nice height to clear roller rockers, but not too tall to touch the intake manifold.
