Just showing off the Superbee 'Vert...

[909Hemi]

I bought this car somewhat as it is 2 months ago. I pulled off the 15x7" Cragars and put on 15x6" and 15x8" Convo Pros, added the SuperBee tail panel, wet sanded and buffed the paint, etc...

In the process, I lost 108Lbs off the front of the car! This is in addition to the 47Lbs of unsprung weight I lost by going to those very light Convo Pro wheels. I also changed out the 2.76 single-legger rear to a 3.91 Sure-Grip. Man, what a difference!

This car started life as a '70 Coronet 383 2-Bbl convertible, and it has buckets & console automatic. It was almost there when I got it... it freakin' ROCKS now! \

Here's a before-and-after of the engine...

I yanked the A/C, put in a 2-groove crank pulley, swapped the iron intake for the aluminum M1 intake, added a MP electronic ignition with constant output voltage regulator, high output coil, Powermaster alternator, mini-starter, good plug wires, and all the chrome you see. I run a K&N air filter with the X-Treme top, which works perfectly with the now-opened hood scoops...you look in the scoop openings and you see it right there.

Really? Are they a problem? I wasn't sure yet, but was considering one for the Charger. Same problem with any K&N filter? or just the tops?

I realize that, logocally, more air flow should mean less filtering, but I don't know a lot about what goes into an air filter to not know any better...

I'm assuming the top works the same as the filter being the same media. If you want a high-flow reusable filter that costs less and works better (both filtering and flow), find an Amsoil dealer in your area.

Gots the test video It's been awhile since I've seen it but if I remember correctly, even paper filters filtered better but obviously didn't flow as well.

Found the site that's basically the video put into text:
http://www.performanceoiltechnology.com/amsoil_vs_k&n.htm

And another site no affiliated with Amsoil although the one reply is from a dealer:

[beeper*71]

Interesting read m_m.
So does Amsoil make an open top filter system similar to the K&N Extreme?

 

[mopar_man]

Not that I'm aware of but I can look into it.

Dammit... This has got to be one of the slicketetest convert-Bee's I've ever seen.....
"Major 'Phat'-ride... !"

I installed AMSOIL air filters on my 74 Beetle and on my wife's 98 Beetle.
I didn't notice a great performance improvement on the old Bug - h*ll, it has only 60 horsepower to begin with - ,but the New Beetle sure felt peppier. The AMSOIL filters were cheaper to buy, as well.
