Best flame arrestor
 
What's the best flame arrestor out there? I don't care what it looks like I just wanna make power and hurt feelings. I've got a big prostock scoop so no clearance issues.

No performance flame arrestor is going to give you any extra speed over another performance flame arrestor.

I'm sure that's true if your running stock stuff but put it on a naturally aspirated 1000hp motor and it might seem like someone forgot to pull in the anchor. I think I'm gonna end up making my own...

I beg to differ, Last boat I did FA performance data on lost almost 2mph with a K&N 9x3 assembly. Granted small light boat, but still a 350cid engine.

Edit in: Before someone states what they don't know, I do these easy tests the right way: ie same day and hour, same sdection of water, and handful of runs both ways. Also, again, a small light boat that responds to everything - including battery placement.

I've never used them but I kinda figured that much from pictures of them. Who's would you recommend on top of a dominator?

I've done fine with the bigger K&N's...on dyno too. But this boat could only fit that 9X3. FYI: Most boats I've seen with the KN FA have the 9x3's. Too bad.
