Jack,
Here's the specs for the K&N Lid
14" x 2" = 527 CFM
14" x 2" with the open element lid = 1000 CFM
Unfortunately, K&N will NOT be making these lids anymore due to a design
flaw. When the average "user" tightens the lid down, it has a tendency to
crack and/or warp. The K&N Tech (Rob/Ralph?) stated that they tried the
lids with a slightly stiffer material and "blew up" it their machines. He
isn't sure when they will be releasing them again but it won't be anytime
this year.
Hope this helps you.
- Bernd

What about that speciallid that K&N makes that is a filter element too ? I
know they have had problems with some of them , but what would that add to
the CFM rating of the 14x2 ?
