I have never run an air filter but i am thinking about running one just wondering how it would effect ET and wondering if the K&N fliter and the xtreme top if worth the money.
The only way you will know is by testing. Performance is depedant on the calibration of your carburetor. I have seen cars go faster with the air cleaner installed...and other slow down. A maintained K&N filter is superior than paper due to the fact it also prevents dust and FOD of getting inside your engine, especially the cylinder walls. However, the K&N also can be more restrictive than some paper filters.
