Hi
Monty;
I'm using the Ford cores and I did just what you are
thinking. I drilled through the baffles with a 7/8" bit. Common wisdom seems to
say that the GM cores flow better than the Fords, but I believe that is because
someone cut one open at sometime and said "that can't flow enough",
and concluded that further testing was not needed. (sorta like
someone's official test of the EWP). I did some actual flow tests of the 2
different types using an EWP and a mag tube flowmeter and found slightly better
flow with the Ford cores. (the full report can be found in the
archives).
I believe I blew out the metal shavings using compressed
air and it took a little effort.

Todd,
One test is more valuable than an
infite number of theories. :-)
Did you drill out the side holes on the
baffle or just down the center? I'll look up your post in the archive. I am also
thinking that with these things in the wings with the tank on top and bottom it
might be a bit challenging to get all the air out of the top tank. Most of you
guys are running them with the tanks on the side so the air can migrate to the
top.
Thanks,
Monty
