There is a filter top available for that size oval for added cfm.

But at the expense of hood clearance? Source? Pics? :confused: |

There is a link in my first response in this thread to a part at Summit. I actually thought that that was what you were using as the base is similar.
Of course all cars are different, but once the base is milled down properly, there is room in my car. I am running a Keith Craft built big block in a Kirkham 427. I have not put it on a dyno, but a plug read told us to run bigger jets after installing it and there is no unburned fel smell like there was with the single S&H set-up.

Ok, I have it directly from a manufacturer that a washable filter to fit the 14.625" x 7.875" are being readied for production as we speak.
The standard height is 2", and a optional 3" height is no problem.
They also said that adjusting the length to fit the other popular Cobra air filters sizes is not a problem...
So how does 3" fit for most people?
What other sizes (heights) would be of interest?
I'll pass on the information...

Interesting. I would have to eliminate my 1" carb spacer to make it fit though. Give up something to get another...might be a wash. Maybe somebody with oodles of time and access to a dyno can perform a massive experiment for Cobra owners on all this. :LOL:

I would think the carb spacer would win easily if you had to make the choice...

Really? I would think that making sure that you could flow enough air into the carb would be the top priority.

I'm assuming you have a 2" filter on there now. Surely increasing from a 2" to 3" filter would help the engine breath better "IF" the engine needed more air to begin with. But I do know for a fact that the carb spacers can do wonders for dyno numbers where air cleaner sizes appeared to do much less. And I'm also making reference here to a well built street engine, not a full race prepared track engine. I'm sure someone out there can add to this with some real numbers...
