Well, one thing we can safely surmise about this yellow monstrosity is
that it is definitely not slow. Why would someone spend a ton of cash
on a motor (big-ass 180 headers w/no discernible mufflers) just to
choke it with a crap air filter? I suppose it's possible....
especially given the confusing nature of this build, but to me it just
seems unlikely. It may not be the best air filter for racing
applications, but the dogbone definitely flows plenty of air.

Conversion Yes you remember correctly. Years ago SCPOCA had a
dyno day and my car with a 377 stroker was run with and w/o the dog
bone air cleaner. I can't remember the exact numbers but the air
cleaner did perform very well. There may still be a write up about
the event on the SCPOCA web site?

correctly, the dogbone was put on a dyno some years back and actually

dogbone-- maybe to some folks it just looks too weird to efficiently
flow air. _ _ Sent using Hushmail On October 2, 2017 at 5:49 PM,

Finally, is that front end really going to slice thru the air
efficiently, or at like a giant air dam?
