<VV> Air Filter Tests (no direct Corvair)

[corvairs]

Well, the arguments used by some aftermarket air filter companies have 
never made  any sense. Increased air flow is only an issue if, for some 
unexplainable reason, the factory intentionally over-restricted the 
airflow with thier filter design. Don't think so. Increasing air flow 
(besides increasing contaminate flow) does nothing but lean up the 
mixture unless you have a corresponding change in the fuel 
supply........Bottom line - as I've said many times - if you could get a 
noticible increase in hp just by using filter brand X then why didn't 
the factory use them?  A 10% increase in advertised hp by just using 
brand x air filter? WOW! Lon
