i have heard from dyno operators that the X-tream lids cause turbulence and can cost HP, don't know I don't operate a dyno all day. If you don't have room for a good diameter filter, the lid may help. Lots of variables you know. I know my motor doesn't like an aircleaner, be it pleated paper or oiled gauze, I pick up 2 tenths at the dragstrip by removing either of them. 14x3" size on mine, damned hood gets in the way or I'd have a tall one.
