RE: [DML] Re: Upgrading the Air Filter

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Guy's help me out here,
So, What yall are saying is that when new products come out there will be no
improvement in performance and efficiency because it wasn't available 24
years ago for them to evaluate when they designed the car / engine.
Then all the claims that Bosch, MSD, Mallory, K & N not counting all the
other the 100's of companies that have the engineering money are wrong.
For example, Bosch in the platinum + 4 plugs. They have poured Millions into
design and research and state the +4 is the Best plug. MSD again have poured
millions and have developed a multi million dollar industry in improved
ignition performance products.
And K & N took 50 year old technology and improved the air filter from being
big and bulky to compact and spray on the oil. Maybe if spray oil was
invented 50 years ago the old oil bath filter would have never been made.
If what your are saying is true, then why are engineering departments all
over the world trying to build a better mouse trap and always trying to
improve the existing ones.
Sorry, I don't understand: I just know That if you keep on doing what your
doing then you keep on getting what you got.

Marty - this reinforces my point exactly.  It's kinda funny that
a bunch of experienced engineers with a large amount of
resources available to them can deliver a better design than
a novice.
