Now, with that said, before you spend any money, you need to see exactly what CFM worth of filter assembly you need to properly feed your engine.

Using the simple formula

A= effective filter area
CID=engine displacement
RPM=maximum RPM expected


Using the CFM formula of height X diameter x 6 x 3.14

Also keep in mind that the 14" extreme top flows 500cfm by itself.


Hope you find this helpful.

Bill -

Thanks for the info. As noted earlier, I got the R2C bottom plate with 14" x 3" filter.

As for your formulas, here is what I get:

468 x 5500/20839 = 123.5

3" x 14" x 6 x 3,14 = 791

I don't understand what the numbers are telling me, can you help?
Tim
