I think I have the same problem with Whipple charged 454s. I picked up 1.5 mph by going from a 10"x2" to a 8"x3" flame arrestor. What was the dimensions on the flame arrestors you removed?
Ok, these are the shortie Gaffrig arrestors. I'll measure them and post it this afternoon.
The dyno shop is wiatung for their new printer to print me the torque and horsepower tables.
OK I know there have been posts on this before but is a K&N spark arresstor less of a horsepower robber than a same size stock or Gaffrig type?....Fred
