Where would be a good place to find OME technical information?

I was looking at a post the other day that regarded swapping an OME air filter for a larger L&H after market unit. The correspondent noted that the L&H would deliver more Air than the SuperDuty could use without other changes such as power chip and larger exhaust. For this reason (and warranty issues) it was suggested not to purchase the unit.

Where would you look to find out the specs on OME Air demand and other issues to confirm statements like that which are not filtered through someone trying to sell new filter systems?

There is a mis statement in there. The filter can not deliever anything. It maybe capable of flowing more air than the engine will demand, but thats all it can do. That in and of itself is not a bad thing. As to where to find what your looking for, I dont have an answer. But I would say that if your not going to upgrade exhaust, fuel management, and even intake, the factory OEM set will work just fine.

Agreed,

OK, the idea is to increase air and fuel to increase power. "If" your computer controlled system could "bump" up your fuel to make use of a "theoretical" air increase, You "could" see some benefit. The filter system is not a forced induction system. The best you can hope for is cool and as near to unrestricted air flow as you can get. I'm convinced Ford is already there with their stock air cleaner matched to a stock tune and stock exhaust system.

The days of removing a restrictive factory Ford air intake/filter system and slapping on a less restrictive system for an easy power bump are gone.

When Ford is fighting the pickup power wars tooth and nail with the Japanese Isuzu and German/Mexican Dodge boys, slapping dual turbos on the 6.4 etc, don't you think they would already snatch up those few cheap easy air intake system horse power themselves?

On the factory filters you could figure out your SCFM by taking 1/2 your displacement (2 cycle) X say 3000 RPM X your engine displacement converted into cu. in. divided by 1728 cu in. for the standard SCFM. The problem gets to be the turbo boost, it is variable so now you have to consider the same displacement with a 25# boost compressing more air into that space. It is a do-able calculation but it is far easier to just do an actual flow test on the engine setup.

That really does anwser my question and I don't know what 1/2 my displacement (2 cycle) is but... OK. Where do you find information like this? Is it avalable on the web? I would like to learn more about my truck. Thanks, Jon
