No filter will let more dust and dirt in the engine and mean a sooner overhaul because of wear on all the bearings and other parts.

Bjorn,
Let me get a meter and we will compare.

And about that not running a filter but just a screen. I ran my Harley for nine years WITHOUT a foam filter. The filter that HD recommends and sells is a screen with a foam ring that's soaked in oil. I IMMEDIATELY pulled the foam ring off.

After NINE YEARS of running my HD that way, I NEVER had any problems. NOW, if you run through a 'cloud' of bugs or something, you might want to pull over and clean it off, but other than that, I NEVER had any problems. Besides, all I was trying to do was keep that LARGE pieces out of the engine.

Just my .02 as usual.

jim

OR, you could try a K&N. You might be surprised and pleased. Or not.

Very good thread! The MF unit is pretty much maxed out in the stock form. What about putting a five tonner donaldson on the fender for BIGGER CFM? Looks nasty, IE cool as heck, and available.

Just saying that your vacuum might be even great than previously thought.

Scientists measure small pressures in mm of mercury, which, in a fit of stupidity, was renamed Torr. Prior to mm of mercury, inches of mercury was the standard. HVAC people work in inches of water, which works out well for the pressures that normally exist in ducting, and the differentials that occur across filters.

In all of these cases, the pressure is a measure of the ability lift a column of water, or mercury. Water is much lighter than mercury, so it takes a 34 foot high column to measure the pressure of our atmosphere, where as it only takes a 30 inch column of mercury to do the same.

The filter restriction gauge is calibrated in inches of water, about 20 for "full red".

i have been thinking about making custom 4 valve heads for the MF, but they would be VERY expensive. at least then you could probably get up to the 400 hp area.......

So to cool the intake air on a MF engine the quickest most effective mod would be to put in a 160-170 thermostat?
I run coooler thermostats in everything here in Texas. I have found a 170 thermostat in Texas will run around the same temp as a 190 thermostat anywhere north of I40.
I think I will have to find a source for cooler MF thermostats before next sommer.
