I did an A-B-C comparison with this cover, the stock football, and an open air cleaner, and this one SEEMED to give the best throttle response, although it may have been more psychological than anything else. I thought it looked kinda cool & racy (sorta like muffler wrap) like the Ram Air on the old Mopar muscle cars, so I just left it.

Job well done! I like the look for sure.. Your intake air may be cooler also. That's an idea I can share. Thanks Dickey!

I'll most likely never own one, but I'd love to spend a cuppla hours riding a bike with a Jims 131" race engine.
