My objective in this thread is to find cooler air in a place that is away from my ears… carburetors like unrestricted, calm air.. (that I can almost do - I want a filter) and carburetors like to suck straighten in (that I cannot do without ugly modification)
I do not think that my air cleaner mod will effect the horsepower in a negative way…
the real proof will be the noise inside..
regarding the comments above:
looking for ram air will cause several challenges….. and the end result to solve these challenges will be:
1) fuel injection 2) unsightly, huge air scoops to get out of the boundary layer!
none of those solutions are appealing to me!
I am looking for 1970’s look… preferably everything fixable with things you have in the frunk or find at the side of the road (auto parts store)
just a sexy exotic 70’s sports car upgraded with good low-tech parts.. (the one concession, I am making is with the electric power steering and which I can justify because that thing is just a glorified wiper motor LOL)
I appreciate “LOW-TECH” more than ever! Programmable Fuel injection & ignition (yes you will go with both) will haunt you… You will tinker with it on and on and on! I just accept the Flintstone technology and drive with a smile on my face!
Since I have this C7 Z51 Corvette (40000 + miles)… OMG, you have to drive it for 500 miles so it learns what happened if you change certain parts - it’s plain stupid! ABS traction control, stability control and on and on and on - I hate it! You have a corner where you wanna swing the ass out you have to pull over and go through the touchscreen menu first and blah blah blah blah blah…
back to analog - back to “the driver is in control” not a stinking computer!
if you ever see me in the Tesla, you know I got murdered and somebody put me inside!
look at me, I was ranting 😳
how did that happen…..🤔
apologies
