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.

Kenny has been around for a long time and with a very shrewd group of Connecticut class racers.
I'm very happy for him, congratulations and good luck.

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?

If he is not sealing the carb to it, I'm sure it's not doing a thing.

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?

I disagree. If the scoop is positioned correctly over the carb and sealed correctly it will be beneficial. If it's not it could be a disaster..

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.
