In my 1970 Plymouth Satellite, I've got the 440 with the Performer RPM intake and an AVS2 800. With the stock Satellite hood, I could never have fit a full size 14"X3" air filter. I have to run a 14"X2", which just fits with the air cleaner stud poking slightly in to the hood insulation. The question is, am I starving my engine of air, and therefore power by running this 14"X2"? Aside from a chassis dyno with both sizes of filter, how would you determine this? If it is too restrictive, my assumption is the only answer would be a new hood with a scoop on it. Am I worrying about nothing or should I be digging further in to this to get the answer?
