haha well heres alittle snag for you. I picked up my K&N airfilter earlier today and the guys at the parts store ordered in the wrong filter. Im fine with that but i got talking to one of the guys there and they said that i can get this special setup were it comes with the K&N filter, but with a filter as a cover and a filter as the bottom. So this would pretty much take away all the casing and produce more airflow. I can get them as big as i want, so i was wondering if i should keep with the original chevy specs or measure the underhood clearnce and get the filter as big as i possibly can. But in the future would this affect me if i was to buy a new carb, maybe too big and would rub the airfilter against the hood. I dont know, im split on either way. Oh and i do have 3 different colors picked out. I was thinking about keeping the original yellow colour, or a sort of Metallic green or blue. eventually ill put on some links to show you exactly what i mean haha.
