    Beautiful, Freeman.

    I suspect there would be a market for these, as they let the intake roar thru while not requiring any body metal change.


    Would Simon be interested in making more of them, now that the hard work of making the prototype has been done?

    Jim,

    Maybe once he's finished his. I just installed the 16mm velocity stacks I special ordered from Webcon in the UK. I can feel an improvement in throttle response. I love the way my Dino is driving! The sound is like a Ferrari F2! Here's what it looks like inside the air box.

    How many mm clearance does that give between the top of the stacks and the cover?

    PS- you can remove that big, stock filter box and hose now, for a cleaner, more classic look :)

    Jim,

    I have a total of 27mm from the base plate to the top inside of the air box. I could have more if I gave the top more crown. Part of why I think it works so well is because we lowered the base plate around the carb assembly and use a full size filter. This gives a lot of air flow and creates a ram effect. I also gave it extra space between the top and inside of the deck lid for over slam. So far it works really well w/o trumpets and with the trumpets you can feel a slightly better response. Next step is to experiment with "stubstacks" which are really short stacks/plates like what the Stratos box has.

    Yes, I'm planning on removing the air filter canister assembly. It'll open up a lot of room as you've mentioned.

    Freeman

    P.S. Early in this thread there's were some others that mentioned they had installed IDF's in Dinos. It would be of interest to see and hear about their developments.

    Here are the prototype mushroom shaped "stubstacks" we created. Seems to flow well. Initial tests show great promise! These are high heat resin. We're looking at making them out of aluminum.

    At some point I'd love to do a video of driving and capturing the sound. The sound is glorious from inside the cabin!

    Fantastic! I'd love to see more of your development! Does your gearbox have the Colotti straight cut gears? Anything you can share would be appreciated.

    Love the way you solved the height problem by dropping the air-box down, very clever and quite ingenious !!!! great stuff, cheers Kev.

    Kevin,

    It was the result of a lot of brainstorming and mock-ups with Simon. We really wanted to use the Stratos/308 filter element. By limiting ourselves to no modifications to the deck lid, it forced us to be creative!

    Do you have any photos of your car and the engine? The NOS Stratos carb setup I have, also originally came from Dennis McCann.

    I'll look up pictures as soon as I have time, i am doing one engine with this carbs right now for a customer on F chat test driving next week hopefully, you found the NOS carburetors, this is very hard to find, I do not think you can find another set for sale, Ferrari would have assembled them from the beginning, dcnf carburetor is pure crap to use on a Dino
