Ronnie, i want to run the air box to so i it will provide cool air. By taking the shelf out it doesn't seem it will provide more air volume since the shelf inlet is as large as the top of the air box inlet. I know Bender suggests running 145 mj for WFO passes on the 800 with the shelf out. But i'm thinking I need to run 156.3 mj on the BB with bored carbs and Q8 nozzles with stock pipes. I was seeing if members had any suggestions. As far as and air pillow behind the carb I can see by leaving the shelf in it could reduce turbulance and allow the carb to draw air as demanded. I think if I pull the shelf out, open the top of the box to allow more air flow which inturn will flow more air/fuel which means more ponies?
If it wasn't for those racer's from NJ I might never of gotten staged at the shootout in Seneca Falls.
Thanks, Dan
