If you have 1000hp in a 24 Baja you are going to have your hands full, be careful.

I called K&N when I was looking to upgrade my flame arrestor as the Hardin I was using a sharp edge at the air horn. Based on their info the 9x3 would be so restrictive for me that it would pull enough vacuum to close my power valves. I went with a velocity stack style housing with the largest 14" K&N element. AT 5600 rpm I am still showing 0 vacuum so no restrictions for me. Most of the flame arrestors I have seen either are way to small or have serious flow issues due to right angles at the air horn.

So, I'll take this a step further and ask if anyone has seen any serious gains by removing the choke butterfly and milling off the choke housing on a Holley 800. Not much need for the choke butterfly in most marine applications - most of the time all you have to do is bump the throttle a few times to squirt some fuel in there and then just keep the idle speed up until the engine warms up a little.

You were serious about a 1000 hp N/A engine? What size engine are you building to get that kind of power?

Every modification is only as effective as it's necessity. Milling the air horn on an 800cfm carb on a 330 would be pretty ineffective, on a 572 it would be huge. Same thing with the flame arrestor, my 524 at 6000rpm needs lots of air. |
