I read the way they test but not being any sort of flow bench expert...... thanks for the input!

That 1.5 inch, I figured that was because a motor at full throttle doesn't pull much vacuum. Am I looking at this wrong?

The flow figures they quoted me are for the filter alone.

I am REALLY looking forward to your test. A bare carb, s&h with a K&N filter, and then something like a 14" K&N. Should be very interesting. I would also be interested to know the pressure drop inside the aircleaner. Wouldn't running a restrictive air cleaner be like running at very high altitudes? Wouldn't the car run lean compared to no restriction?

Yes Lew, very much so.

Thanks
Rick
