Does any one have any experience with the difference related to K&N and Spectre (Red) washable performance air filters? The K&N is double the price of the Spectre. I am looking to change the white paper one on my 70 Chevelle SS.
I've used the Spectre ones in the past. They claim a synthetic media on their website and that's different from the K&N which is supposed to use cotton material. I have since gone back to the OE style air filters but I never noticed anything wrong with the Spectre filters. Intake said of the air box always looked clean.
I would not touch a K&N or any other like filter after seeing the dirt in my intake let in. I tried every oil and it just plain and simple lets dirt in. I myself will pass.

And if they told you that wolverines made good house pets would you believe that too?
I'm curious to find out if there's any way to increase air flow of a stock air box, but continuing to use the stock paper element. I have never seen any aftermarket high flow filters that filter as well as the OEM paper element, which is why I won't use them...

I agree, that is hilarious, and not possible...
It's probable. I've done more with less.
I picked up .5 in the 1/4 and dropped .2 off of my 60 foot by installing Splitfire plugs in my Cummins.
When the throttle opens up, you can really tell the difference. Smoked an '83 Corvette like it was standing still.
