Ask yourself this. If they were so great why are they not made and sold anymore. The answer is simple.

what is the answer?

Didn't one of the bigfoot trucks run dual predators?

If I remember right, a Volare. Could be the Dodge version. (Aspen).

I like the way these air cleaners look. Everyone has said how bad they are. So I fabbed up a large K&N. the difference in ET? None. The car is a Volare that came with a Road Runner and Super Pac spoiler option. Had it since 1977. Been supercharged since 1987. Not super fast. very heavy, just under 3900 with me. Mild factory head 340. Runs 11.0x@121 in street trim with good tires.

very cool, and i actually like how those air cleaners look, and they are short, have just seen a few catch fire And i would call 11.0 on the street plenty fast.. i rarely go over 60mph so anything more is meh anyway. cool car.

Then you don't deserve a blower...

Personal opinion, ONLY!
Id much prefer the look of the big single K&N.

The video covered what went bad on our predator!...Looks like the part that is bad on ours is now available in carbon fiber thermoplastic. Whatever that is..
They did not mention that when that piece goes bad it can hydrolock the engine w gas and bend a rod!Lol

Maybe our predator will live again
....or maybe not.

goes bad and instead of stopping fuel it just flows?

We had a holley electric fuel pump. Turned the key on and the gas went straight through. It was nothing like a needle and seat sticking and flooding. More like just dumping all the gas full flow into the engine. Happened quick!
I doubt they all fail like that..Lol
At least it was a oldsmobile and not a mopar!

We still had a blast running it. No regrets.
Well...maybe a little regret

FIL had an Aspen/Volare station wagon....and I listed both names since the car had both on it lol

If I remember right, a Volare. Could be the Dodge version. (Aspen).

Hi Doug, I'm doing a Richard Petty wanna b '72 Charger. They used the same hood hinges on that same race car. What/where are they from? Silly question # 2, are they original to Your Volare? Thanks, Rick
