I suppose this is correct to the original, but I don't see how they make that much power through that small an airfilter.

Your thinking is on the money.While trying to dial in the 585 hp 460 in my car with the small Stelling air cleaner,knew out of the gate it was too small. A call to K&N set me straight.Ordered a new hood to be cut installed a modified Harwood scoop,now have a 3"x14"with Extreme Top, happens to sit in the middle of the scoop.Performance is the way it should be,the motor no longer lays over for lack of air.
