Flow numbers for different size paper carb air filters
« on: May 17, 2013 - 07:35:02 AM »
I'm using the 14" X 4" @110 for my 850 Holley.

Also, check out cool 16 inch filter at bottom of page. They adapt a 14 inch lid to
a 16 inch filter:

72 Cuda, owned 25 years. 496, with ported Stage VI heads, .625 in solid roller, 254/258 at .050, 3500 stall, 3.91 rear. 850 Holley DP, Reverse manual valve body.

1999 Trans Am, LS1, heads, cam, headers, stall, etc! Love to surprise the rice rockets with this one. They seem so confident, then it's "what the heck just happened?"

You know what would be cool is to take folks dyno numbers here and compare what kind of element setup they used to achieve their numbers.

Ya, most likely the largest and least restrictive air filter would make the most power. Though there are
air filter housings that have a curved base and top to redirect air flow better to the carb (make
it more laminar). Ramairbox has some.
