[DeTomaso] Air cleaner

[Charles Engles]

Dear Forum,


                  I would agree with all the criticisms of the dogbone. 
However,  the Space City guys ran a dyno session, which looked at various 
air filters.   They specifically tested the notorious dogbone.    Much to 
their surprise it produced the most HP on the dyno.   It is certainly not 
intuitive.   Just as certainly dyno tuning with carb and air filter spacers 
can have unexpected positive and negative results on engine performance. 
FWIW.


                                       Engine rookie,  Chuck Engles
