VERY interesting! I've been considering an open flow lid after watching (100 times) the Engine Masters air cleaner shootout (SPOILER: SALAD BOWL RULES!). I love the look of my oval Cobra air cleaner assembly, but I have to imagine that a 1.75" filter must be choking the motor. I plan to take it to a chassis dyno some post-covid day to find out for sure, but in the interim, I was measuring to see what would even under my hood. Answer: 9" round max will allow about a 3" element.

The x-treme style lid did very well in their dyno testing, but that's without a hood above it. I wonder if our hood scoops actually scoop air. Anyone have yarn and tape? ;-)

I wanted black, so this is a nice find for sure. THANKS FOR SHARING.

Here's how it looks now:



Here's a pic of a 9" frozen pizza cardboard sitting on the carb



And a pic of the car with the scoop removed during PPF installation. (The engine sits nearly an 1" off-center.)
