Lot of guys use K&N without oil. Less restrictive, just trying to keep the big stuff out. Lots of different sizes and configurations available if you have an unusual space to get it in. Wix racing are also fine.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

What is best racing air filter besides k&n and I don’t want to have to clean and re oil This will be on a 800plus hp engine. Thanks in advance I threw and gave away my K&N crap and run WIX paper racing filters WAY better and less restrictive...........

Curious as to why the wix racing filter says “ no for highway use” Is it just a disclaimer, or do these no actually filter well enough for a street driven vechile, that would see more dirty air, then a track car?

Yep, they filter big chunks, birds and other flying objects and you can see through em BUT, the 3" will flow 1000+ cfm and beyond........

I used an 11x5 K&N velocity stack base style assembly inside the hood scoop with an isolator plate. Didn't hurt it. I think it helped it. I don't think I would run one without an air cleaner anymore and K&N makes a lot of different sizes, shapes, panel filters, etc, that you can get a filter on just about anything. If a 14 or 16 x 3 or 4 round unit will work, you have more choices.

I know they make special air filters such as the oval ones for 6 pac and the multiple carb units but can a round filter be made oval without causing total loss of filtering. Lets say 16" round to 13" -14" wide oval.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
