I know it might be negligible, but anyone know how much air the carbs in the tower of power motors take in?

Had a thought of adding 3 of something like these to each carb... (but of course it would need to supplement the normal CFM each carb consumes and not restrict it)

There are MUCH easier ways to get power out of an old I6. Check in with the guys at ScreamAndFly.com for more...

On a flow bench at 1" Hg a WK carb will free flow 85CFM. The problem with inlines is the reed blocks is so restrictive you cant get engine to pump enough air ( a engine is nothing but a air pump). Crankcase/cylinder must be improved to increase vacuum on upstroke of piston as outside atmospheric pressure is what forces air into engine not engine suction. I have raced and fooled with these for years and only way true way to increase hp is to install a T2 intake and carbs. My inline has thinned reed blocks and porting work but this is for light boats only.Save your money as these wont add anything just like a velocity stack,looks pretty that all..
