[RACER X #99]

Todd,
If your just street cruising then what you have is probably good enough.
If you want to get serious and make some of the HP that your engine is capable of than you have to dump the turkey pan and modify a drop base 14" filter with at least a 3" element.

One time famous BB FE racer Don the FEz Durner even went so far as to have a custom built oversize scoop to house his 14 X 4" filter for his ERA Cobra. This could be one of the reasons he was so fast on the track. He knew how to make his engine breathe.

It really is funny when guys go thru all the expense to install two four barrel carbs on their Big Blocks and then choke them off with those tiny little Stellings filters.

FYI take a look at the filters the Nascar guys use on their 358CI engines.
