No. Increased volumetric efficiency leads to increased lift numbers. It is the increased lift the Kunkle provides to increase cfm under LOAD> It is the point of greatest air resistance(wand on the carpet)that the increased lift from the KUNKLE allows more cfm to happen by increasing the pressure differential between the air outside the wand and the dynamic pressure inside the wandhead.

Tried the Y it is a little more CFM, the biggest improvement was going to 2.5. A friend of mine put one on his Hydramaster 450(4.5 blower) and was told by the guy that sold him the valve that he was now closer to a 5.3 blower. So I was seeing if there was any truth in this.

OK Ken.. If you did tighten the relief valve you wouldn't know when it would open vs the kunkle being more accurate at 14 or 15 HGs.. And probably faster wear and tear on the belts.. |

That does not work john. A non Kunkle valve starts leaking air as low as 7"HG. Those other devices are not effective if you are losing up to 40% of your vacuum potential. Put the Kunkle in place FIRST, then you will have real power potential. Just don't let a window washer tell you how to do it. I guarantee he will not pay you to replace your engine goes goes down from following his "recommondation" of how you should do it.  Edited by Superglide Ken - 19/March/2008 at 11:27am |

Why not just tighten up your vac relief valve..? Run 2.5 hose or the Wye deal.. What are you running bryan..?
