[DeTomaso] Fw: QUESTION DOG BONE AIR CLEANER

[Gray Gregory]

This has always been the suspected choke point for this air cleaner and
some people have fabricated taller bases to get it up off the carb.

Frankly we were all quite surprised that the effect on my car was only
1hp. This test was done on a chassis dyno so the cost was 1rwhp.
