Lose those velosity stack filters and the car will run alot closer to 11's.
Hahaha, and what info do you have to prove that theory? I run them at the track and on the street and even dynoed with them and they made the same exact HP as without them. Actually, I went 6.71 at 103mph in the 1/8th with them. The filters you might be talking about are the foam filters from Weber. Those things won't work with a carb with a big venturie. Howard run the filters you will be fine. Actually make a pass with them on and without them and report back to us. I will put money on it that it e.ts the same. |

The pre-filters are cool. They will for sure "save" your ring seal. That car is awsome. I take a look at it every day when I log on.
Hey Joe, Take it easy. we are all entitled to our opinons. Yes?
Just like opinions on deck height and compression ratios....

I have heard of putting your 2 cents in, but 25 is above and beyond. If it works,then do it.
lol ..........But none of it makes cents for a RACE car. ......Since your adding weight that doesnt make it FASTER!  |

Opinions and facts are two different things. Those triple mesh filters work real good. They are advertised with no HP loss and I had to see for myself. I was very impressed that they didn't rob any power. I always hated the fact of driving around without any sort of filtration. I used to be paranoid about chucking a rock down my stacks during a burnout or coming back down the return road when the tires are sticky. The filters are the answer and if I had a drag only car I would probably use them. |

[Man you got it all figured out!!! I guess you better give Buddy Hale a call to give him the same info, cause the car he just built thats on the cover of Hot VW and 6 pages inside has the same TRIM alignment issue. I hate to brake it to you that sometimes these cars were not built to the highest standards when new. I will post a pic to show you the door is not a problem. This was not a $50000 restoration so as a builder you have to draw a line on how much mock up and fitting you will do before paint. And welding and redrilling trim holes for a race car was not in the budget. But thinks for the help....NUFF SAID!!
yep...nuff said. ...i get it all the time |

Howard was able to get the 66 to the track to make one pass before closing the track do to weather. The car went a 11.51 at 113 mph in the 1/4.

That's pretty stout straight off the trailer! I wonder how many times he got asked "does that thing have Porsche Engine in it"? LOL! Howard, please PM me if you take it out for another TNT session? |
