Ross, you may have changed my mind about changing anything.  In the past I have gotten some flack for putting the oversized Boss 9 scoop on it but it works well with the 6" tall filter.  Was looking for a sleeper look for it but the exhaust gives it away anyway.  The top hats just look like they won't supply enough air for 1430 worth of CFM and the cost of trying a complete system and finding out I am no better off is prohibitive.  I have a monster so it might as well look like one and I can back it up quick, fast and in a hurry.

Hello all - new to this forum.  I have a '68 Mustang with a Genesis 468 CID with Blue Thunder 2 X 4 intake and BC/BD Holleys.  My question is how can I get enough air to the carbs running a stock hood.  A 2" K&N filter will not do it and that is the tallest filter I can run with the oval air cleaner.  Currently have a 6" filter and Boss 9 scoop which does away with the sleeper look but supplies more than enough air.  There has to be a way to do it with the little space available.  Thanks in advance.  Also kudos to Jay for all his hard work providing information on the FE.
