I am running a 514. Trying to figure out how to ensure that I am optimizing performance vis a vis my air in-take. I have been told 460's et all need "alot" of air. I had some pretty severe clearance problems and have ended up with a drop down K&N filter housing, but have had to cram a 2" ( by 14") paper filter into that housing. K&N's "topside" filter wont fit either, so I am running just the 2" with a crome top.

Out of curiosity, I ran the car with no air cleaner and it seems to miss and bog more than with a filter.

Anyone have thoughts or experience on whether the 2" is in fact too restrictive or feedback on performance variables associated with non forced air induction????
