Air cleaners/filters
Okay, so I need to get a nice chrome air cleaner from my brand new Street Avenger 670 (the Edelbrock one I have now won't fit). I was looking at this one, seems reasonable to go with another Holley part:

The question is, does it really matter performance-wise what filter you go with? Is it really worth it to shell out the extra money for a K&N filter or something? My instincts and experience tell me not at all, but I wanted to get some C3 guys' input...TIA.

You might be looking at it from the wrong perspective. A K&N might not show a huge power gain, but they claim to filter more particles than a foam or paper element. So it's very cheap insurance for your engine.

I have been wanting to buy a 14 X 4 paper filter to use for shows only. I think the white paper elememts look better than the K&N.
Where can I find this size paper filter?
