I'm running the K&N 9 inch setup on a flat base with 2.75 filter on a single plane intake with base milled 1/2 inch on a big 496 FE. Car made 681 at the crank and runs great on the street. The front opening of the car is directed pretty good into the radiator with a lot of alumumin panels sealing off the rest of the engine compartment. Very pleased with the performance and would not agree with the statements of air can not go down the middle of the carb. Heck I ran lots of race cars with out air cleaners at all.....
