Miles,
You got my point exactly. I posted some scientific #'s on air temps a
little while back, find the letter at
http://www.geocities.com/woodrufj/dakota/Air_numbers.html
I use to have this set up before I put in the K&N poor boy set up. Bernd
told me to pull the flap, I pulled the horn direct myself. So unless anyone
objects I think it's a good idea.
