Don't lnow about anyone else, but I purposefully chose a larger than needed
filter. Obviously you get that much more flow, plus when it becomes very
dirty, it won't impact performance as much (cuts down the time between
washing). Additionally, as I add mods to my stock setup, I wanted the filter
to be able to provide for them.
I spoke with K&N tech support and asked for a cone filter for a 5.9L engine
(flow up to 5krpm), they suggested the RU-0950. They told me the highest
flow rate which would still provide enough flow for that filter with a 5.9L.
....of course, I put this filter on my V6 :-). Funny thing is I have seen
filters on V6s much larger than mine.
