All 305 Engines Horsepower

[Hacksaw]

My buddy has a SS Camaro with a QJ and he tells me that piece of plastic inlet makes his car quicker when it's on the car, then I wonder. When I start to look around at several other cars and they also have that piece on, I start to think he's right. 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?

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?

I race a SS truck. These two friends of mine have SS Z Camaro's with all the proper ground effects, spoiler, hood and whatever. I don't know anyone in SS that uses an air filter base, but I'm sure there is some out there. I'm just commenting real world results. If you don't agree, whatever, don't get twisted up over it.

Keith,
How familiar are you with Mopar hood scoops? If you are you wouldn't disagree with me. Fresh air introduced to the engine compartment is not always a bad thing.

I'm extremely familiar with hood scoops. I've built a few. They went really really fast!

The TPI air dict does not belong on any carb combo. It may help with under hood air temp in to the carb but no ram effect.
My guess is Kenny was testing or giving everyone something to look at or on his journey to making more power.

I took Bud Pickens super stock Camaro to the first Sport Nationals at No Problem and I knew nothing about car but tech sure did. I had to borrow a drill and remove the air duct in question in this thread. Didn't question as to why I just did it. It has been on there for years until that event

I also owned a SS 255hp 85 Camaro. Bought it from Brian Tilburg, raced it, sold it. Last year Wally Clark tried unsuccessfully to flip car over backwards at Lebanon points meet. It had the plastic piece on.

That car is not fast because of a few degrees cooler air under the hood. It's fast because the hard work and dedication it takes to build something that fast. Kenny craftsmanship and understanding of what it takes is the reason for the performance of that car. It has always been bad fast. This last weekend everyone got to see it for better or worse.

Todd,
You are so right.
I'm amazed of the power this combination makes and the 12 horsepower seems to be warranted.
Which makes me ask, why spend the time and money to protect the number?
I'm old school and thinks it's crazy. The fastest of the fast don't even let it fly at Indy.
