Replacing the 750-cfm with an 850-cfm Mighty Demon produced almost no change. Our power numbers stayed very close to as before. *850 Mighty Demon

For this test we added a High Velocity Heads (HVH) 2-inch carb spacer and picked up a couple more horses at peak power, bringing the total to 521. *850 Mighty Demon

Finally, we added an S&B 4x15-inch air filter, fired up the dyno, and recorded 523 hp. A number of variables can account for the increase, but the point to drive home is that the filter certainly didn't hurt the performance. *850 Mighty Demon
