Haha, so bored I just looked at random 3rd Gens on CarDomain...

I think the flipped lid is supposed to let more air in because we all know how restrictive the stock TBI inlet is. I wouldn't do it though --- ghetto, minimal gains, chance of some debri going through the TB, etc.

Good logic, but who in their right mind says,

I had an '84 pontiac parisienne (caprice)... 305 w/ Q-Jet. I flipped the air lid... The lid on mine was lipped...so the inner circle of the lip (when flipped upside down) would still make a semi-decent seal with the inside of the air filter wall. Soooo, believe it or not, it was able to suck air down directly into the filter. Not a dramatic performance increase, no, but it was better then it running through the big hose. :-P


It also made a cool suctiony noise, as he described... well worth every "penny".

No, I'm not justifying redneck logic. But it was fun at the time.

Haha...as sad as it is to say, my friend had an '87 Z28 (305 TPI)...and the parisienne would walk him to 40 every single time.

doesnt that upside dow lid cancel out lmsot any of the pressureised air that is being forced into the intake by the leaf blower?

i mean if the leaf blower is forcing air down in therre through the hose wouldnt all the pressure escape from the gap ?

if he flipped the lid back over to make a seal.... if the thing worked at all... it would work 10x better wouldnt it?

Some of it. Figure the "blower" is probably pushing more air in than can escape through the crack. But you are right, flip it over and, by logic, she'd run much quicker. Kind of like having a small gap in the piping going from turbo to intake...
