Carbs and turbulent air - I have heard that this is a problem and saw 
one example
where a car picked up over 30 mph by sealing off an air scoop that was 
directing
high speed turbulent air into the carbs.

Dave, what do you do to address this problem, besides replace the carb 
with EFI ?

Thanks,
Bryan
