K&N is my Friend

[cardude]

i went from paper 2.5" 14" round filter to K&N 3" 14" round with xtreme top and OMG, hesitation gone, I accidentally spin my tires where they did not before, all I can say is my poor car must have been starving because it is night and day difference in power and response.

will I get a power ad like this adding headers?

I'd be surprised if you see more than a 5hp difference using the K&N over a stock CLEAN paper filter. You can expect a 10% or greater increase with headers and free flowing exhaust. Just don't go to big on the exhaust diameter or you will give up low end torque.

of you think a K/N gives you power, you will think you are john force after you add headers!

In the most recent Hot Rod there was a K&N test, using different K&N set-ups. This was on a big block chev making over 500hp. After the test they threw on a 9 inch chrome with paper filter, and it knocked over 35hp off the charts.

K&Ns can really help.

It's also in the newest Car Craft. Made me think about what filter I'm going to use next time. I wonder how the Edelbrock Pro-Flow would stack up?

I heard somewhere that it was good for 1000 cfm

thats what edelbrock says its rated for...
but i havent seen them use it too much and i hear bad things about foam flow

having said that - i have the thing and i like the way it looks
well, after a while i wanted to see how well it flowed... the foam on it is like 2" thick and i took an air compressor to it and it didnt let very much air through so i replaced the filter with a filter for a house (3 different layer with one layer being foam)
i put some k&n oil on it and used it until just recently when it wouldnt fit my new demon
its real thin and flows well, but probably doenst protect well - it says good to 8 microns
i figured if its good enough for the air i breathe...
