Well M.J., I guess that I'm guilty of some of that stuff myself. But most people don't know what they're looking at when they look at my stuff anyway.

When another friend of mine puts that piece on his Camaro and goes quicker, the debate is indisputable. A Stocker may vary, but I don't think so. This means that I do know what I'm talking about. Your results may, right Kieth O?

I will bet if they remove it, there will not be any performance degradation. The factory FI setup has a restrictive outlet as shown in the picture. In addition, the inlet portion, as shown in the picture, is restricted and even when you remove the panels, the grills are small and are not pointed forward, they are pointed downwards.

If it was so effective, why racers with FI remove the whole assembly and use a straight K&N air filter directly on the throttle body?

The drop down carburetor base is more effective since it distributes the air more efficiently at the carburetor entry.

Sealing a "scoop" to the carb is not always beneficial, but how could directing fresh air to it not be?

Did you test this on your car? If not then I'd say no you don't. I would love to see how this test session went. Wait so you guys run the air cleaner snorkel on your SS car? Hmmm Was it a Z?
