Air Box Info...

[Melv]

Jst talking with a Porsche pal in the States. He's been involved with the factory and last week had a meeting with Roland Kussmaul, Porsche's Chief Racing Engineer. He was responsible for the weight loss programme on the Cup Car's in 1990.

Two relevant 964 items came out of this:

-Kussmauls personal Porsche is a 964....

-Air box holes...waste of time. Cut out the whole box to within 30mm of the edge -it's worth 5bhp.

Remember -you heard it here first!!

Do I hear the rush of feet to the 964's acompanied by manic hacking of air boxes??

I'll give it a try for Donington....

Have fun!

Mel

Hi Mel

I hope your right!! I have just located a used airbox cover, should be with me in a couple of days (they even knocked some money off when I mentioned you suggested it, something about it will be a smaller waste of money) so I can take a saw to it. Thought about drilling it first but think I will cut away as much as I can and leave a shelf to protect from the rain.

Will certainly sound a little faster if nothing else. See you at Donington.
