One thing I have often wondered about this subject of air filter size is the following. When a formula is used to calculate the required filter size, is it referring to the size of the opening, that is, the height times the circumference of the filter container OR is it referring to the actual surface area of the filter element which is much greater due to it's flutted shape?

Has anyone ever run their car on the 1/4 mile with and without the air filter? If so, did it make a difference?
