That is because an oiled K&N filter element has way less air flow than a 
paper filter element.

     I believe I have the standard Mustang version of the Blue Thunder
     (angled carb pad).  I'll double check tonight.  Also, I believe I
   have
     an earlier engine screen (it's all screen and slopes down at the
     window.
     The air filter is a Hall drop base air filter with the cast aluminum
     "Pantera" script lid.  I did try a stamped lid as well without
   success.
     Cheers!
     Garth

     Garth,
     WHICH Blue Thunder intake do you have? The standard Mustang version
   or
     the Pantera version?
     I had to change to a different air cleaner to get it to fit under my
     screen when I put new rubber engine mount donuts in. With the old
   ones
     my existing Hall/K&N fit fine. I had to get a different, thinner lid
     with the new mounts as it raised the engine a tiny bit....

     I have a Blue Thunder intake on my Pantera at the moment with a
   Holley
     670 Avenger carb and NO carb spacer, and the drop base air cleaner
   does
     NOT fit under the stock screen.
     Cheers!
