I have a 5.0 345 BHP Crate Engine with the Oval Cobra Air Filter. While doing calculations for Air Filter Area I think I have a problem?

Area required is CID X RPM divided by 20,839 right?

302X 5500= 1,661,000 divided by 20839 = 79.71.

Filter is 52.75 in. X 1.125 = 59.32. Thats 25% short of the standard required volume? Am I correct?

This 5.0 does run great because it can't breath!

I do not have enough clearence for a 3" high element.

Any ideas? I will install a K&N, but I don't think it is enough.

Thanks, Bud
