Something is so wrong if it is called "Dogbone"

Dear David,

               Egad!  How could I have forgotten the Detroit Bling Reflective Factor in the propulsion calculation.  I take it into account on all my propulsion units.  My error.

                               Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

It is my imagined understanding that when testing the Dog Bone, a cool factor of 1.56 must be multiplied into any final calculation.

I am assuming this filter that I have had on the car for years is restrictive and am looking for suggestions on alternatives.   Would like something polished aluminum, very unique, and nonrestrictive.   I do not have the engine screen on car so height is not a factor.   This air filter will go on the Road Demon carb.   I have an Edelbrock polished intake manifold.
