DeTomaso Mailing List: May 2000, Message #64

Over all, most of you have given these air cleaners a "thumbs down."  That's
great...the forum works.  I appreciate the insight and experience that is
available here.

Having said that, does anybody have one that they hate, and would sell for
cheap?  I'd like to run some experiments (like the spacer that Jack DeRyke
mentioned).  I have access to air flow measurement tools and I want to see
if I can do some tweaking to make these things into a viable (or at least a
tolerable) solution.

I do not necessarily intend to use this air cleaner for track events or the
like, I am looking for better visibility for street driving.

Thanks,

I don't know if anyone's interested, but I've done some digging.  So far
I've found that B&M no longer supplies the "Hi Tek" side draft air cleaners.
They have sold that product line to Holley.

All,

Does anybody have anything good or bad to say about the low profile, side
draft, air cleaners from B&M.

I have a high rise manifold, and a big K&N staring me in the face when I
look in the mirror.  I was hoping that this B&M thing would help (anything
better than zero) rear view visibility.  

The problem is that I want to have my cake, and eat it too.  I want
visibility, but I don't want to introduce significant air restriction.  Is
anyone out there running a (relatively) high HP engine, AND using the B&M?

(first order approximation: high HP=high intake flow)
