Gents, perhaps you contact their engineering staff and get Van's A/C data to support the "equivalent " MP. data with and without the K&N Filter. My conversation was with their chief engineer at the time over coffee and a knapkin drawing. The entire design was run thru an A & I with over 25 years of engine experience, and suffice that this aircraft won it's heat at the Redmond Labor Day races 4 years running (235 Modified)..

With that filter configuration - I don't see how any MP gain is possible.
Matt,
I agree. But, I would love to measure MP, pre-induction air speed, pressure, etc. Maybe there is a sophisticated explanation. I am already devising experiments. Remember, certain race car induction systems were improved by merely imparting a spin to the incoming air (wish I could remember the reference).
