Bill et al: I ws also worried about air flow differences between front and
rear carbs. But I have not noticed any difference in performance since
installing this box. Perhaps someone out there could talk about the rates
of air flow into carbs. In my view a differential air flow situation would
only occurif flow INTO the filter box was equal to or less than air flow
into the sum of the intakes of both carbs. I'd get that puppy of the shelf
and onto your motor and "do the experiment"!
