[FC] 140HP aircleaners for FC?

[Ken Hand]

 I'm sure at 6000 rpm you may start to get some intake restriction somewhere with the modified 140 early air cleaner. Anywhere else in the rpm range and I don't think there will be enough restriction to pose any problems.

I have seen this alteration, too. I wonder, though, if it restricts the flow 
since you are asking the same filter setup to pass a certain amount of increased 
air.

Just thinkin'
