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? |

Carbs have ventures. More air through them=more fuel. Newer cars can compensate on the FI for more air, either by O2 readings or Mass airflow sensor if it has it. Stock FI is open loop (no O2), and a Map,( manifold absolute pressure) therefore not capable of tuning for air increase by itself. The MAP type cars only read off vacuum, vacuum is only atmospheric pressure as the high, and what ever the engine can produce mechanical to the low, down to 30 inches. This air filter was sold a a HP increase for stock injection.
