Nice. Did you do a before and after test to see if the extra filter made a difference? |

This may be your answer. The baseplate is custom made for a 9" filter and will fit inside a turkey pan. Sits flat on the carb, while giving you access to the float bowls. AND gives you the max hood clearance. Also allows you to use the Extreme filter tops for more air. I am using the Quik-Latch on the top, which we modified for a clean flush look. See Mickmate for one. Already on many cars with no complaints......

I should add that the package includes the custom baseplate, K&N filter element (2-1/2" tall std), and the K&N Extreme top (modified) with complete Quik-Latch assembly. All ready to go.
Just wanted to let you know what's out there......

I remember when you were developing the base plate, great work!
I might add that it probably will NOT work with an Edelbrock/Carter type carb. There is a portion of the choke assembly linkage on the passenger's side that would interfere with the flat base plate. I managed to machine down the Mr. Gasket base that I run on my setup for a bit more hood clearance, but would REALLY like to run the nicely radiused K&N base....the Mr. Gasket base has a sharp corner, the K&N base is almost like a funnel.
Good to know MickMate has them....great adaptation and fits inside the Turkey pan, to boot!
Cheers!

Thanks Dugly,
I will start studying the Carter AFB / E-Brock Carb next. I enjoy it when folks say things can't be done. 
Cheers back!

I have used K&N filters for many years on my cars but this test has given me cause for thought K&N Air Filter Review - Debunking the Myths (and why OEM is better)
A search of the net will show that the test was faulty to some degree but still there are plusses and minuses with each filter type and it depends on the environment you drive in (very dusty or not) the life you expect from your engine 50 000 miles or 150 000 miles and how important those extra 15 hp are when making your choice - just make sure that choice is well informed

Interesting results on flow when filters were dirty..K&N flowing less when dirty. Not sure what that means in the real world however. |

I dyno'd the car three ways, all the same day, same session;
1) old 1 3/4" tall oval K&N filter, stock lid.
2) new setup 2 1/2" tall oval K&N filter, modified lid.
3) no air cleaner at all.
The new setup did 8 more HP than with no air cleaner and 14 more HP than the 1 3/4" tall filter with the stock lid.

I get that you cut the filter lid to add an additional filter but how did you increase the height from 1 3/4" to 2 1/2"? |
