yea, I went from the factory air box/ paper filter to an Open element (cone
type) filter with the air box and air hat removed. It was worth something
like .2 sec. in the 1/4 mile. This was also on a 4.7L. The 5.2L may respond
different??
Recently I have been experimenting with total removal of the filter, for
racing only. Just my intake tube with the filter removed. So far it seems my
times don't really change much with the filter off. I did run my best ET
with it removed, but overall not really anything significant. I guess the
filter size I have (190 Sq. in. ) is more than enough!

I think with the K&N and AIR/FUEL SENSOR, it is a matter of volume of air.
I ensure now that the 14x? is equal to the K&N cone 9x?. This means the
same mass of air volume will remain the same. The difference is the open
air restriction when using the 14" flat filter and air turbulence. I have
the computation at home.
I think Matt has the 14" K&N and claims it is much better than the paper
element.

With my 8" K&N Filter my 5.2 Auto, 355s, ran consistant 15.0s, with a
best of 14.97. The truck always had a flat spot for 2 to 3 carlenghts
out of the hole. I since have changed to a 14" paper filter. WOW!!! It
now runs consistant 14.8s. The flat spot is gone. The 60 ft times
dropped from high 2.2s to low 2.1s. The bottom end feels great. Maybe a
14" K&N????????? D
