Cool Ditch the foam!

Steve, Gary, etc..
If you read further back into the thread, the guys using the Edelbrock Pro-Fow air cleaners are just using the housing and cage, NOT the urethane foam element. Instead, substitute a piece of polyester filter material(like from a humidifier). Polyester is much more durable and flame resistant than urethane. Of course, it won't filter out the small particles, but also offers virtually no resistance to air flow. I'm trying this as purely experimental. I am under the opinion that most Cobra's are literally choking for air due to limited space. Quick test: Do a couple WOT blasts without your air cleaner. With mine, there was a HUGE difference, and I was using a large, but vary shallow, K&N oval. I'm excited to see what this set-up does. Hope to test drive Thursday.
