It's a well known fact that linear air flow is better than turbulent air. What if you had a filter that did not collapse under compression, offered linear airflow and a fuller cylinder? You'd potentially get more HP. Now add a better sparking plug to the fuller cylinder mix of air and fuel.....
what filter do you suggest?
