I got to come clean. I run a special air cleaner. It only weighs 22 ounces, not counting the shower injectors. The reason I run It is it gives me more room under the hood and I don't have to cut so much out of my body.

Your units are beautiful. BUT They could stand to go on a diet. If they are anything like the Rosen units and I bet they are, they are just too too heavy. Next time you go to a midget race look over an Esslinger filter. Very light and functional. Billet filters while pretty are just to heavy for a race car.

And as far as a "one size fits all" motors for ram tube length, diameter or bell radius. People spend hours and hours getting one right for just one motor,cam,comp ratio, RPM ect.combo. Then when you change any one of these variables you have to start all over.

Just got an idea. If I was young and out to build another business I would do it. Get a hold of Gary at Coast Fabrication. Get a deal on his "ITG" filters and build some light inexpensive boxes and sell Three time as many of them at three time the profit and half the price .

Whenever I turn around all I hear is racing is getting just too expensive and we are running racers out of racing with all the big motors and fancy add on parts. I learned many years ago racers will buy whatever is on the fast cars, and they will use the kid's lunch money to do it.

You could be part of the solution.
