Brian thanks for info . it makes me wonder about the top lid how high it should be 1in 3in 5in . does that make it flow faster? you would think running no flame arrestor it would make the most hp ? its funny how things work out

From what I get out of this it appears a modified 5x10 gafrig actually makes more power than no flame arrestor at all.

Are there any better brands out there than others when it comes to the phenolic ones? I havent looked yet but i'm sure there are a million to chose from.....
There all pretty simple and straight forward. I would just be sure to get one from a reputable company like Edelbrock, Moroso, Trans Dapt, ect.

I have two 5x10's and I havn't gotten to it yet or even looked at it closely however it seems as though they are riveted or bolted together in 6 places or so. You may have to disassemble it to do it correctly however I assure you my inners are coming out one way or the other. lol... There should be two different types (coursenss) of screen. The inner most being the finest. That is what you'll want to get rid of. The cleaner the job you do the less conspicuous it will be to the CG. If you wait a day or two I'll be doing mine and will PM you.
