[DeTomaso] Air Cleaner size

It's pretty cool.  It measures the actual drop in HP for each air cleaner.  They use a 760HP BBC so they can really push the filters to their limits.

They don't test our good-old dog bone, but they, well, just watch it.

       but for 400 HP and 6500 red line, after converting to sq inches, it
       comes out to about a 4 inch high 14 inch dia filter if I did it
       right???
       109630 sq mm = 170 sq inches
       (2*3.1459*7) * 4 = 176

         You probably have a K&N cleaner. Measure the diameter of your element
         and do a search for elements of that diameter and select the height
       you
         want, my guess would be 2 inches.

           Hi, I would like to post the following on the POCA site.
           "I have a K&K (?) oversized round air cleaner on my Holley. It is a
           tall profile. I don't expect to get another air cleaner under a
         screen
           on my 1972 but would like something smaller, shorter, or a
       different
           profile. My engine is basically stock so performance isn't a big
         issue.
           Yet, I don't want to starve the engine with a tiny cleaner. Any
           suggestions? Thanks."
