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?  |

Flows more air..... really?
Think about it..... an engine is a piston air pump.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Depending on atmospheric air pressure, there is only so much air that can fill a cylinder when the piston goes from TDC to BDC ..... The only way that you can get less air in the cylinder is to place a large air restrictor into the intake and then the piston sucks a vacuum when the piston goes down....... I'd be willing to bet a non-dirty air filter is designed to pass air and isn't enough of a flow restrictor to create a vaccum so large that it restricts horsepower by other than a very minimal amount...... Oil baths use bubbling and aren't subjected to dirt and flow changes as much as paper units are.... |
