Air Cleaner Size Calculator
 
I want to thank the Second Strike.com newsletter for taking the guess work out in estimating the appropriate size of an air cleaner. Has anyone else used this calculator? Has anyone used a flow bench to validate the model ? Would be neat to see the correlation.

Since I dont have access to a flow bench, this is helpful. Are there other models out there ? Comments?

I don't put much stock in that calculator. It says I'm losing 23.3 horsepower, yet on a chassis dyno, I gain 11 horse and 8 lbs of torque, with my air cleaner versus NO air cleaner.

I usually don't beleive all those calculators either, too many varables, but with that said,this is what I found.......

calculator says I am losing 2.23 hp at peak rpm

actual dyno results: I'm losing 3 hp at peak rpm with air cleaner on vs. no air cleaner

In this instance, it is accurate, at least in my case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calculator says I am losing 0.23 hp. Dyno says I am losing 0.00.
Seems pretty accurate in my case.
