I just finished the final grinding on the new fan shroud for the intakes today. Then I had to take everything apart to clean up the dust (that took another hour and a half - sheesh). Just as I was finishing up, the fed ex guy showed up with what became my intake screens. I am really pleased with the end result!! I am just a flywheel and a throttle linkage away from being all done - then I get to start on the chasis....

Still confused. A sweet six is a sexy beast I would want to take special care of. And by all means, protecting such a girl would mean keeping airborne crap out of her lungs. I'm still hoping to learn that something that appears to be "sexy" isn't feeding grunge into my sexy baby. Sorry all, for drudging up threads with my ignorance. But um.... SCHOOL ME!!!!!! I mean, please splain. I build a high-dollar engine, I'm not skipping a filter so it can ingest crap and destroy itself. Again, obviously, I am missing something. THAT is what I want the experts to fill in. Please, tell me why screens in place of good air filters make sense. Don't tell me it looks sexy. Even me is not SOFA KING WE TODD DID. |

Racers don't care if it looks sexy. They only care if it's fast. Tradeoffs. Margin of victory is usually less than half-a-per cent. Less restriction == more power. For a car driven 5 weekends a year (maybe 10 in SoCal) in good conditions, you can accept a higher wear rate if you are winning. Especially if you are running for a championship. With super-duper filtration, you might go 5 years between freshening. For max performance, it might be only 4. So - do you want to win, or do you want to drive a slow car for a long time? (BTW - I lived in Minden 8 years. I would want better filtration driving in that part of the world maybe unless it was raining, even with the altitude penalty. Definitely for Fernley. And definitely for practice. Might go for it during timed runs if there aren't many off-course excursions kicking up a lot of dust.) |
