No it isn't. With no air cleaner gasket the top of it is flush with the choke housing which is legal. I would run a thin gasket as I don't want metal to metal contact. Gaskets range from .044 to .130. I don't think NHRA would mind if it's .044 above. I do think they may say something if you used a .250 or more spacer that's available. With that being said, I did see a National event winning car whose base wasn't even close to the choke housing. It looked like a mini velocity stack. Really surprised NHRA allowed it. Wasn't a Q-Jet carb though.
