On the air flow disturbing the idle; a side note is that when I was dynoing my engine we ran it all day with no air cleaner getting as much out of it as we could. Just as the dyno operator was getting ready to shut everything down for the day I suggested we try the air cleaner which is a Holman Moody drop base and top with a K&N 14x3 filter. The 462" FE immediately picked up 5hp. We pulled it two more times with the same result. Mine defiantly makes more power with the air cleaner in place and I can only attribute it to air flow management into the carb.
