RE: [DML] Upgrading the Air Filter?

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike, I would be skeptical also, But I did all the small improvements to my
11004 before the Casey air box came out and they work. Yes, There was no
scientific study done, but the response to the foot was much improved as
getting on the freeway.
If the car is tuned and after the improvements are done then 02 adjustment
may need to be reset. Go watch the plastic air box pull down when you rev
the engine. It's starving for air.
I also agree it may not be for everyone and I'm not trying to convince you
of that. Just stating what my experience has been.

I am always skeptical of these claims because they are never done
with any kind of rigor.  I'm willing to bet that most every DeLorean
can benefit from a tuneup - with OEM parts or aftermarket.  Seat
of the pants evaluations are useless.  I would be willing to believe
claims if there are documented dyno runs before and after every
change, measured against new parts to the original design spec as a
baseline.  Anything else is marketing.

Ever notice how those stupid tornado intake infomercials ALWAYS
do a tuneup and filter change on the car with the installation of the part?
