Dellortos and rain

Yeah, those turbo hats work if you're feeding the carbs air under pressure, but for a normally aspirated engine I'm sure they are very restrictive.

I remember that Jake said he would post results, but I never saw them. I wish he would I am very curious where in the RPM range the lows occurred and if he was running the common stacks or not.

FYI I don't run the common stacks, I use the stock/OEM ¼inch tall velocity straight stack looking things. The hats themselves are cut down in height quite a bit, I have cut and welded the decklid springs for clearance.

This is the deck lid that I found in the swap meet.
It has worked just dandy for the few years that it has been on the car.

Jake Raby tested a customers bernie bergman N/A 2275 T1 engine with CB turbo hats and a big K&N, compared to no filters. He lost some huge number like 25 horsepower from the single filter setup.

Here is an old pic I saved of it;

That is very interesting, as while looking at Bernie Bergman's NEW!? website he is advertising a similar setup. Maybe he heard it worked so craptastically that he thought only proper to get his name on it, look here,
