I was browsing the AA catalog and came across the MSDS high flow cone air filter (catalog page 28). The ad claims that one can gain upto 10 more HP using this air filter. Is this true? Has anyone else used one of these?
BTW my engine is a 2056, stock FI with Raby's 9550 cam and tuned MPS. HPH sells a bored throttle body and claims HP gain with the TB. True? |

If it's tuned to your headers and everything in between (i.e. throttle body, cam duration and lift, port configuration, etc) then it'll get you something unless you are already as good as you can get.
Even then you have to pick an rpm range to be "ideal". Then you can experiment with intake length and exhaust back-pressure. That's why I run SuperTrapps. I have to use various plates with different fuels. In any case, you need a dyno (as opposed to your ass-dyno (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) ) to tell. I'd spend the money on the nut behind the wheel... like track time!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Ron |
