[DeTomaso] Data for K&N filters

[Charles McCall]

Thanks, Dan. Very interesting reading!

May be found here:

Basically says that K&N works, it flows nearly double the best of the paper filters. Even a dirty K&N flows more than a new paper filter. 

Also says that cold air is hugely important to dyno numbers and 1/4 mile times.. Worth a few minutes reading
