Air Force Kit, eat your heart out!
Yesterday while out at Sand Mountain, I took the time to rejet and install my clamp-on K&N filter that I've had here for about a month. HOLY FREAKIN' CRAP! Tank about power! The top-end power now hits as hard as a 2-stroke, and midrange has gotten better too. I'm only at a 160 jet (4000' elevation) and I think I need to go up to a 165... sand drags are next weekend and I want to be ready for 'em!
I ran a guy on a Predator with the WB pipe, drop-in K&N and stock sprockets (I'm running 13/38). I've run Predators like that before and put, oh, 3-4 lengths on 'em. I ran this guy twice and put over EIGHT lengths on him! No joke, no exaggeration.
What's interesting is that the last time I was out there, when I was equipped with the drop-in filter, I ran against a guy with the Air Force kit, but with otherwise the same mods, including the sprockets. We even weighed about the same. Ran him twice and we TIED BOTH TIMES. That tells me the Air Force kit isn't really doing anything for top-end power. It may help midrange, but it sure isn't showing in real world testing.
Oh, and when I ran against that guy, he was on Haulers and I was on my Sand Skates. If I had had my Haulers on at the time, I probably would have beat him.
Edit: I will dig up the part numbers and post them later, along with who stocks 'em.
