[TR] Paper Air Filters

[Bud Rolofson <levilevi@comcast.net>]

I put a pair of Joe Alexander's velocity stacks on my TR6 recently  
along with his very nice covers which filter out the big chunks of  
debris.
Wanting a little more protection and filtering I went looking for  
something to put over the stack covers when I'm not rodding it.  What  
I found was that the cloth drain covers for my hot tub fit nicely with  
enough resistance to not come off when at highway speed.
Don't know how much filtering goes on but it's at least more than  
before and I can just shake them out when I need to and not mess with  
a lot of maintenance.  My oil may get a little dirtier but the engine  
sure hums with the velocity stacks.  I may test a few different types  
of material (sponge, etc.) to put between the stack covers and the  
drain cover just to see what  gets caught. Still looking for that fine  
line between flow and filtering. I like power but not replacing rings.
For those with Joe's velocity stacks or just interested:   Part Name/ 
Number:   Sundance Spas Drain Cover 6540-213.  They are approx. 4 3/4  
inches diameter and stretch just a wee bit.
