Well, no homecoming for me. It's my younger daughter's first homecoming tonight. Last kid at home, so I'm very present to the fact that these are the last "firsts" for me as a dad. Bittersweet.
Anyway, out in the hanger finishing maintenance, and didn't think I had ever taken pics of my induction box mod. When I was trying to fix the uneven EGTs a long time ago I noticed the air filter was VERY close to the firewall, and imagined there was little room for air to turn that 90 degree corner and flow through the filter. I made a small aluminum spacer to see if it made a difference. Well, it DID make a small difference in max speed and RPM and fuel flow, but nothing for the EGTs. That got fixed later when Nick sent me the vanes and fiberglass tube. Yay!
I've left this in place just in case it helps a little bit. Don't figure it can hurt.
Hope the pictures are self-explanatory.

Bill, you can rotate the filter 90 degrees so the pletes in the filter media
is going side to side, easier for the air flow accross the area between the
firewall and the filter. Small increase but each little things help.
