By this calculator you are OK with two paper filters. It is interesting to swap in the oiled felt filter and see the difference.
I have this setup at present, when I first saw photos of it I did not like the look of it.
It grew on me over time. I am a bit of a function over form type guy.
I did the calculations in the past and the top does add quite a bit of surface area.
Good luck! |
Surprisingly when I plug in my two S/H filters (8.5 inch x 2 inch x 2each), my engine size (459), peak power (480) and rpm (5400) I get 1% pressure loss and 4.8 HP loss at 5400 rpm. That's better than I expected. Makes me think the calculator may be a bit optimistic.
