Cant see any threads on cold induction fitted to a RV8. I am running the IO-360 A1B6 ( forward horizontal sump). Will it fit? Do I have to modify engine controls much. Any figures on speed or power increse over normal sump

Cold air induction

If you already have an horizontal induction I0360-A1B6, I'd leave it alone. Your sump and intake tubes would easily bring $2K on the used market as that sump and tubes are very desirable.

Both Superior and ECI made "cold air inductions sumps. I really liked the Superior model. I did the firewall forward on, a friends RV-8 with a Superior I0360 parallel valve, but I would only go that route if I had a vertical draft sump, and wanted to have a clean cowling without the external snorkel. IMHO the gain would not be worth the cost and effort.
