Thanks for looking Erland,the airfilter base is a decent radius bell mouth with that filter and base was down 3hp on dyno as compared to no airfilter.Erland Cox wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 5:40 pm Hi Steve!
Did you dyno with that air filter?
I did a test on a 350 in one of my road racing Camaros with filters.
Frome bare carb to a Summit aluminum fitler base with 14" filter and a nice radius from filter to carb was +25hp.
Best hp was 445 with 4779 Holley.
Your filter base does not look like it has a good radius.

Re: 383 sbc first dyno experience
K and N filter,I have tried other air filter bases and this seems to be the better option.

Re: 383 sbc first dyno experience
This is what I used with the filter and top on the dyno. + 25hp versus bare carb.
A 4779 carb that I have ported the top of so it looks like a HP carb.

How tall a filter element would you run with those? And how far would that put the lid from the top of the carb?ChopperScott wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 10:41 amInteresting.

I've a choke horn on my original BG 750 VS but I'm assuming there's no choke horn in either case above.

Erland,
On the road race vehicle is the drop base above the hood or below?
Next year I want go to a fibreglass/ carbon fibre hood and reverse cowl scoop for my car,one is for weight and the other is to get airfilter into a area not influenced by outside air due to vehicle speed travelling down the track.
I prefer that there is no under hood heat interference as well.

What are your thoughts on the drop base setup for your vehicle.

That would be your classic cowl induction hood wouldn't it?steve cowan wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 5:29 pm

Made a tray out of cake pan with a rubber seal to the underside of the hole in the hood. And as tall a filter element that the cowl allows.

In all my years I have spent little time with hood scoops/ cold air boxes etc but I am sure they do work.

My GlassTek 2" cowl hood.
Glassed in the cowl opening...
Made an appropriately placed hole for the filter elemnt to poke through.
A 16"-18" cake pan and weatherstripping make a sealed tray.
I've a sealed top and a 4" element. No super dropped base like the pics above this post (Erland and Scott).

Re: 383 sbc first dyno experience
I'm using a 3" tall filter. There are different spacers available to raise the base higher...
I won't have any comparable data until I get the suspension dialed in and it's running consistently.steve cowan wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 5:31 pm Scott,

Re: 383 sbc first dyno experience
It will be interesting to see results.
I would like an extra 25 hp on my current combination

Re: 383 sbc first dyno experience
I received my drop base today.
Of course it won't let me close the hood and I will have to space it up away from carb linkage.
I am going to dyno another 383 soon that will be close to same power so I can test between the two.

Wondering if aircleaner is a help or a hindrance??

GM air cleaner. No spacing required for linkage. Better contour for air filter. This is what I am using
