ideal Parma reed stop placement: to bend or not?

I bought a treats puch alukit and had to buy some reeds. I bought the blue parmakit reed block shown here.

I took the intake bridge out today and was about to slap it on but I noticed the reed stop distance is super small. Maybe like 4mm. It seemed way small than the tomos reeds and polini two pedal reeds I've seen in the past.

Is there a way to figure out the ideal reed stop distance? I could really find a relevant post.

Carb will be a 16SHA, Daelim intake, modded estotril. Reeds are supposed to be .3mm thick i think.

seriously, yo. Do reeds have limits according to thickness? What's up with that.

Re: ideal Parma reed stop placement: to bend or no

i ran reeds without a stop at all. i put the stop back on.

how far could they really open in 1/900th - 1/10000th of a second?

i dont think the stop is needed.
