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.

If it doesn't belong there and it isn't worth anything then why is it there? You're betting with other peoples money.

Depends on the carb setup. Not all gains are about cold air. Just saying. It can change the fuel curve going down the track. If it's run, it could be for a reason.

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

Why do people say things they don't know anything about. Was a 305 tip engine only available in an Iroc-z in 85-86 NO. They came in Camaro's and Berlinetta's. That piece directs fresh air from behind the bumper cover up to the throttle body of the tpi. There is no "ram air" effect. He'd be better off lower the nose and raising the from to of the hood and taking that off. But then people would say thats cheating also.

I guess this is what happens when someone spends hard earned money with Gulius.

I just have to speak to Jim on the best way to have a lobster pond in the backyard. Did you see the size of that thing on Facebook. I just wonder how many bags of Purina Lobster Chow it took to make it that large. Will I have to build a cement pond too.

Larry,
I think the orange car is saving it for Indy
