 I have done calculations of a bunch of air intakes. Using info found here:
http://www.knfilter.com/affacts.htm#SELECT

 Here are my findings:

Stock paper filter: 71.875 Square inches (355.78 CFM)
K&N Drop in filter: 71.875 Square inches. (433.40 CFM)
10" K&N 2" tall: 62.8 Square inches (378.84 CFM)
10" K&N 2 1/2" tall: 78.5 Square inches (473.35 CFM)
10" K&N 2 3/4" tall: 86.35 Square inches (520.69 CFM)
10" K&N 3" tall: 94.2 Square inches (555.97 CFM)
14" K&N 2 1/2" tall: 109.9 Square inches (662.7 CFM)
14" K&N 2 3/4" tall: 120.89 Square inches (728.96 CFM)
14" K&N 3" tall (needs mod to rad hose to fit):131.88 Square inches (795.23)
6" cone (The one I have) 103.63 Square inches (787.7 CFM)
8" cone (I will buy if the need arises) 138.16 Square inches (833.1 CFM)

Here are some more interesting numbers:

(CFM ratings on Bruce and Frank's Throttle Bodies)
Stage II is around 700cfm. Stage one is around 640cfm. factory is around
565 cfm... Havnt been back to ;the bench" in a while, but thats what I
recall as the breakdown...
