i have acutally enjoyed reading this thread. tips and tricks to gain a little here and there without sacrificing power. if you can have the same power with just a mpg or two more it helps and adds up. fun to experiment with things like this.

By bowl shaping the screen you increase the open area but I contend that there will still be some restriction. In a street driven engine where max power is not a priority I can understand experimenting but on a race engine there will be a power loss with little or no potential benefit. -Bob |

REMEMBER .. the JC Whitney catalog ... of the 60's and 70's ?? .. !!
They has some of these MEAN-screenies back then. SUPPOSED to help break-up the fuel BESTer .... Yeah right ! |

I remember them. I wanted a 3x2 intake for my 240 Ford van, headers, vapor injection, 3/4 race cam, . FIRE INJECTORS!

Well, I know it has made a huge difference on my street 360, but I never tried a before and after onteh dirt track motor. You may be right on top end. As for teh 3/4 cam, Dad still has one of those fromthe 60's for a 301 Poly. :-)PCRMike

I have 2 of those. One for my new coffee maker, one from the old. Set it inside the funnel to strain carb cleaner etc.

That screen is way too fine. You need something a step up in coarseness or two from window screen.

Same theory as before, you break up large low velocity fuel droplets into finer particles. It is the surface of the gas that burns as it is in contact with O2 so the finer the droplet, the more efficient it will burn. Drop a barrel of flaming gasoline and it'll look like a napalm strike, atomize that same barrel of gasoline a split second before ignition and it'll look and act like a small nuke.
Guy in a truck forum installed these and no other changes and swore up and down about them, he said they increased his low end torque substantially, was able to break the rear tires loose at will which never happened with the old gaskets and he had to jet down 2 jets to keep his aftermarket o2 meter at stoich at idle. picked up 40% better mileage, from 8-10 to 14 (could have been from smaller jets or just new gaskets) after a 400 mile road trip. 6 months later he was still up on them, his last post was "screens blew out, dont buy them..." quite a 180 from his raving posts. Another drag racer guy lost a screen and wiped his cylinder wall with it, toasting a cylinder and a piston. Another guy had run them for 10 years with no problems in a stock 350 Suburban. You make the call. Just google "torque plus" |

Never said it worked, just that they did this and they did win!
