Choke Tower Carb without Air Cleaner Myth

This is an awesome book;

Amazon.com: How to Build Horsepower, Volume 2 (0601784000523): David Vizard: Books

Lots of talk about air filters, cleaners etc in here.

I've heard that *all* carbs see reduced turbulence at the venturi with an air cleaner, choke tower or not.

Certainly rings would probably last longer with an air cleaner.

have to do like the tractor pulls and stack 5 6" elements on top of each other LOL
