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

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.

A low plenum intake is not good for making power and as stated, there are already plenty of those out there. Why would TF invest resources in an inferior product. It's your choice to run a relatively low clearance scoop. You have to decide whether you want the best performance, or you want it to look stock. The two usually don't go hand in hand

If you have a 4150 carb and a 14" air cleaner, go to the Chevrolet dealer and order part #6422188 - it's a drop base originally designed for mid '60s Chevrolet muscle cars with the 780 Holley. It drops about an inch lower than any aftermarket drop base you can find.

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. Last edited by dogdays; 01/22/16 05:06 PM.

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)
