  Tim,

  Assuming your power peak is still at the stock 4800 RPM, your motor
needs about 55 sq. in. of filter according to K&N. The filter you listed
has about 78.5 sq. in. (Should flow about 473 cfm given that K&N material
is supposed to flow 6.03 cfm per sq. in.; though K&N doesn't specify at
what vacuum level that flow rate occurs... Zero?)
