Todd, I wondered the same thing...if you do the arithmetic, assuming the scoop opening is about 16" wide by 1.5" high, and all the air into the carb goes through the opening, the air velocity through the opening would be about 50 mph if the carb was flowing 750 CFM...the velocity would slow down once inside the T-pan, but it seems like there could be some turbulence inside the T-pan that might upset carb flow without a filter assembly of some sort...any other thoughts?
