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?  |

You'll get more hp gain by switching to a bus plenum/throttle body as Jakes dyno tests prove across the rpm band. For street driving stick to the stock air cleaner as it works
