Big problem here. After getting the DFI up and running, power increased to just 323 rwhp--a lot more, but well short of what we already knew this Strope Speed Shop 396 was capable of. The culprit was thought to be a restriction in the inlet ducting, most notably in the rubber elbow and MAF meter. Note that the MAF meter was strictly along for the ride in DFI trim; we wanted to quantify the DFI's improvement without improving airflow, and we also needed it as part of our plumbing.
