Really, I take it that 6hp # is from your extensive testing? The guys doing actual testing in say "Engine Masters" competition, or NASCAR, or Trans Am, or any number of actual professionals, might have evidence to counter that sophomoric supposition.

Denigrating comments like this are what make you such a freaking wanker. What did he find out Chas? Maybe you read some tea leaves or something and came up with something that the OP DIDN'T say.

You've been through the stupid "Xtreme" filter lid discussion here before and have been told by people much more experienced and knowledgeable than you just how little (if at all) this POS works. And yet you have the unmitigated gall to spout "if you want power" at the OP who has only 1/16" clearance over the top of his AC? These piles of dung show negligible results when run on cars with wide open scoops and dynos with perfect air and yet you have somehow miraculously surmised that this guy's tiny over filter clearance would somehow produce major power with a pile of dog doo on top?
