Re: [T3] EMPI air cleaners and power loss

[PunkDork55@aol.com]

<< The other day I finally bought a pair of the 
 EMPI units, went home and installed them (with a new, longer breather hose 
 leading to the right side air cleaner breather inlet) and was surprised to 
 find when I went for a test drive that I lost MAJOR power, especially at 
 the high end... >>


A couple weeks ago on the list, i was successfully convinced NOT to buy these 
units to replace the stock oil bath air cooler, so im just repeating the 
information give to me, but, you may have experienced a loss in power because 
the empi units pull in hot air from around the case instead of getting fresh, 
cool air through the small bellow.  Additionally, the empi units restrict air 
flow, which may also add to your loss.
