I thought air cleaners restrict air flow. I have never had a air cleaner on anything I have raced. I went back to back runs a few years ago with & without air cleaner. Absolutely NO difference. And that's a drop base with a 3" element. Like I said in the air cleaner post... did you re-jet to see if it really does change(performance).. I know for FACT that any air cleaner is a restriction so a jet change is required.. its just a matter of how much of a change and what filter you were running... I flowed so many air filters it gets BORING.. with and without adding fine dust to it

Stop being snarky and smart-a$$ with your suggestions hahaha the skin is thin here! We're Lucky to have so many options available to us, ford guys have like one choice. I actually did talk with a local fiberglass specialist about modifying the T/A scoop the same way Dick Landy did, but held off on having it done... $$$

I guess that is the reason Pro Stock runs air cleaners. Maybe they are worried about the weight. If I could tear my engine down after every race, I wouldn't be as concerned about what got sucked into it, either.

Patrick at Pro Systems told me that if the car does not go faster w/ NO air cleaner/filter, then the mix is wrong.

I have two. One original Z-28 and one from 15 years later. They are low for sure, and make a really nice entrance to the carburetor. But, the air filter assembly was very expensive, so bring plenty of coin. Don't know what just the base would cost.
Wow, I just looked them up. The entire assembly for $85 or the base for $60. I remember the dealer list as $145.00, and that was 20+ years ago.

R. I just buy the base, and pair it with an aftermarket 14" top and filter. Years ago I had a 3" K&N element and Moroso lid under the stock flat hood of a '67 cuda 440 with Holley Street Dominator and 850 dp. The one I showed is a spare one I bought about 15 years ago, was like $30 back then. My old 440 cuda street beater in about '92-93. Flat hood, mufflers, 9" tires, 11s on 92 octane (I know it was rough - didn't care back then)
