OK, after all this discussion, I admit, a small filter will work just fine. HOWEVER, I think a BIGGER filter will filter BETTER! Assuming there are no clearance problems. Before installing, I will ask Clarance to check my clearance. I might even ask Victor to check my vector. Roger? Huh?

Bigger filter won't necessarily filter better, it might filter better longer with the additional media surface.

Possibly the same engineer that put the starter under the intake on the Northstar engine?

Good God, and those Engineers make real good money too. Unigraphix programs and all kinds of computer goodies and it still happens. It's not stupidity at all, just a lack of communication I gotta think.
