My car is in the dyno shop since I dropped it off Friday night. I have 1 7/8" restrictive exhaust baffles in it with the old air filter and the Vic Jr. intake. They'll be doing dynos this week, first as it is currently set up, then after changing out the sidepipe baffles for 2 1/2" ID baffles with packing, then again after swapping my intake out for a Performer RPM. This one I'll have them run with the old filter and the new one from Summit to compare outputs. Lastly a Chassis Dyno Tune I hope to have the sheets by next weekend and I'll post them so we can see what changes occurred with the larger side pipe baffles, the dual plane intake and the larger air filter (if any). I rather think the baffles will make the most difference, the intake might increase low end torque and change the curve a bit and the filter ...... well...we'll just have to see.

Why bother with different sized filters if an engine can run on any one of them??

Perhaps all the calculations are just a waste of time...we'll see!

Kevin, I'll try to be sure and have the O2 readout, A/F changes and anything else I can get them to print out for me lol

Regards,

Dirk
