[DeTomaso] Carb Inlet

[Charles Engles]

Dear Stephen,


              This supports Mike's response.  I seem to recall dyno results
over the years that support the "dogbone" air cleaner mount 1) reduces HP;
2) doesn't change HP much and 3) increases HP.

             IIRC the Space City Panteras had a dyno day where their tests
showed a substantial benefit with the dogbone.  Unfortunately, I don't see
that on their website tech section.

             If you were able to borrow one and if you're going to dyno the
engine, then you could do the experiment yourself.


                                Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

I am still waiting time on the dyno, so engine is pretty much on hold for
5332.  But, am thinking ahead to when I will need to put on an air cleaner.
I have seen several engines with an inlet to the carb that splits in two and
mounts the air cleaners to either side of the carb.  Any comments on the
performance of such a set-up, or recommendations for a better setup?
