Would 8 separate foam air cleaners, (1 per velocity stack) be more restrictive than the 2" K&N setup I have now?
The short answer is, I don't know.
It is probably more involved than just comparing surface areas of the two setups, presuming that the restrictions of the filter materials themselves are equal?
It's like that question asked by JFB. Are the flows through one 12" pipe the same as the flow through 12 1" pipes?
My guess would be that for our intents and purposes, they are close enough, given equal surface areas, but do not know for sure?
As Kelley remarked, "it's been awhile", but I seem to remember attempting to calculate the surface areas of both of the setups I was trying.
I don't remember the results.
Kelly would probably be the guy to ask since he worked so much on this subject as part of his induction project?
My preference is simply to run on open stacks, then the best compromise for that is the screens.
NO MATTER what anyone does here though, remember "we" (all of us) are attempting to run what not so long ago was considered to be RACE ONLY components.
It isn't just you Mike, it's me too AND a bunch of other people that are just too stubborn to leave it go.
I don't know if you have noticed that as a common denominator here? I have.
Sometimes our individual competativenesses even makes us get on each other? It's kind of a by product of the combination I think?
It's like having a bunch of Navy Seals together. Eventually there will be something happening?
