Question Dual Carb Adapter Gasket On Blower ?

Do you guys prefer the screened or non screen gasket . Reason I'm asking is that I've noticed the gasket material into to screening juts pretty far out into where air-fuel should be flowing . I prefer to do nothing that would impede that flow . My intake to blower gasket also needs trimmed to get rid of the air dam but that is simple with no screen . I can see the usefulness of a screen under the carbs but does anybody make one that is of a higher quality and keeps the gasket material out from where it don't belong ? Yep I'm critical of everything Flow = Horsepower .

I have only seen (and use) the screen under the carbs.

So if I tape half my mouth shut and run down the road it wont impede my performance ???? Small things like this may be one of the reasons two identical engines produce differing amounts of HP . I need all screen and no gasket material in my floooooooo . Where's my blower friends and engine builders ? Nobody want to talky to da deep ? Thanks for your answer SFO .

I certainly could be wrong here, but I don't think with a blower what you are talking about is a critical deal. Naturally aspirated I totally agree, but the blower is a pretty efficient air pump.

Yea I'm totally new to the blower game that is why I will no doubt continue to ask stupid questions . Small details like this nobody ever discusses .

My way of looking at it that if anything gets into the blower (throttle plate screw, what have you), you are going to hurt the blower. If the rotors come apart by themselves (no screen under blower), I really doubt the screen will help, those pieces are going right through the screen.

I have a blower with a bug catcher injection hat on it that has a screen gasket but my quadrotor with dominators does not. Neither do my 454's with B&M 250's & holleys. Maybe it's more for street use? Hi Sam, Hope to see some noisy whining videos soon!! In my opinion there are no stupid questions when it's your money.

if you are concerned about a screened gasket use one without the screene.

If it were me, I would not want anything obstructing or disrupting the any of the airflow if it could be helped within reason...N/A or Blown. I ran into this issue before, years ago on one of my 2 565cid engines as we were dyno testing them.

Not concerned about the screen just the gasket material about a half inch into where air- fuel mix should be flowing . Looks like an air dam to me .
