Summit Catalog, page 81: "The K&N StubStack can build up to 10% more
horses. Hot Rod Magazine's flow- bench testing recorded an air flow
increase of 28 cfm on a 650 cfm carb, 40 cfm on an 850. Fits standard bore
Holley, works best with 4" or 5" elements."
I know my Dak doesn't have a carb, but could this work, seeing as the MFI is
made by Holley? (isn't it?) Just a thought, someone w/ more knowledge can
decide whether it will work on a Dak or not.

Anybody know of any other sources for this type of TB flow enhancer? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the top of the stock TB is not very inducive to smooth air flow.
