At the moment, I don't have the turkey pan on. I took it off becuase I was doing a lot of carb tuning and it is impossible to play with the carb with the pan on. Then I decided to get a new carb, which I put on a couple weeks ago, and have left the turkey pan off b/c I'm going to take the car to a chassis dyno in a week or two to tune the new carb properly. Before I go to the chassis dyno I am going to buy a full size air filter and conduct a little experiment: I'm going to run it on the dyno with the current air filter (small K&N with xtreme top that fits in the turkey pan) and see what the power and air/fuel mixture is and then run it with a full size filter and what it does. My nose tells me that the motor runs much richer with the small filter, but the dyno will be the final judge.

I'll let you know how it goes. I do like the look of the turkey pan though.
