I have heard many claims about the K&N filters, and certainly their own
literature points out many advantages to upgrading to their filters.
However... I was told by the mechanic who rebuilt my carburator that my 289
4v (it has the original Holley) is not being strangled by the intake (it
gets as much air as it needs with no problem) but by the _outflow_ of
gasses. That is, different headers and/or an exhaust system is what the
engine needs to gain horsepower. By the way, I've got the air cleaner with
the snout, not the hipo 360 degree cleaner.

Anyone have any experience with this? Would changing to the 360 degree
filter help? How about the hipo cleaner AND a K&N filter?

Thanks,
Mark
