BHAF getting tired what next ?

Well I have had my BHAF for quite a while now, it may be time for a new one, or change. has anybody found the all out winner in cfm flow for our trucks, K & N exluded, I'd rather keep the dirt outside my truck. I just upgraded to a htt 64 71 13 turbo and want to make sure it gets all the air it can, so what have you found, or can you point me to a chart somewhere. searched but no good results.

I think I can win the biggest air filter award and it's good old paper! I checked the restriction with a magnahelic - only 1.2" w.c. at 3k rpm, wot. I can't post pics but I can email it if you send me your address. Craig

I sent them. I hope you can open the pictures OK. I set out to build the biggest filter setup possible. I built the tee that's between the two filters and connects to the turbo. You'll see why I had to move the right battery. I just replaced the filters in the picture and found even bigger ones. The front filter is 12" long and the back one is 8" long - both are 9.21 OD x 4.86 ID. It took countless hours looking thru filter books and calling vendors to check availability. They are now the biggest filters that will fit on the right side! Craig
