Unfiltered air intake: How harmful??
I've heard in my two short years of vintage racing wildly conflicting advice about the use [or not] of an air filter regarding engine wear. I have a 2L 914/6 with Webers. The car is race only, run on very low dust tracks. I've been told by some that even small quantities of dust cause huge cylinder wear. But the many who run naked intakes don't seem to complain. And how much power loss should I expect with the standard hooded K&N's vs no filter? I can't tell with a seat of the pants test.
Thanks for any advice,
Gavin
