Is there any advantage to running a 16" air cleaner like the asphalt guys run over the 14's that are built specific for the late model stuff. Does the extra surface area maybe slow down the airspeed coming across the top of the carb?

I am much too tired tonight to give a factual explanation of where we are with air cleaner systems but I am looking forward to adding this to our "let's Chat" tab
Mr. Mopar ---I believe we come from the same era and have faced many of the same challenges.

I hope we can share experiences and test results with this subject.

Stay tuned for my response---pun intended--LOL

Hopefully in 14 more months we are all talking about how that race season has already started and our own plans for our upcoming season at the track.

Hey Brad, back on the air filter assembly deal. Are the gains with the Walker system due to the whole package (drop base, filter, top) or is it just from the Walker top? Is there any value to say a normal flat base but a walker top?

[brad hibbard]

the base is completely re-designed for air direction
it may look like a traditional drop base but it's not
the deal works as a unit --including the filter itself
the base and top have special mating surfaces to the filter
I have had folks use them (Top and/or base) with standard filters but I do not recommend it (not a good fit)
The intention is to have the smallest amount of obstruction to the air headed to the deck and spoiler as possible while still having the same amount of filtration capacity----the bonus is that it has no problem handling dynamic air and it flows as good as the flat base.
we tune the exact height with custom sure seal rings

10-4. Thank you for the reply Brad!

Brad, is the walker system designed for just for the crates or do you thing there would be an advantage using it on big inch open engines.

[brad hibbard]

Ben Walker has told me that Durham Racing engines is on board with the low pro system.

Not sure who is doing the engines for Josh Richards and Tim McCreadie but both of them are running them.
I am sure there is more ---I don't have my finger on the super world much

Cornett does both their engines i believe.

Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work.

Has anyone ever tried a vacuum pump on a crate engine? Is it even legal? With the wet sump pans they have to run would it be any benefit or just cause the oil pump to work harder to suck up the oil. Our wet sump super engines turn to many RPM to stack one behind the P/S fuel tandem pump. Got me to thinking if maybe it might work for you guys running crates.

It's illegal in most crate rules, but many allow an evac system on the headers.

After watching a recent video on horsepower gain from fuel cooling, has it been tested on crate motors?
