Why waste good money when you can buy an Amsoil nano filter and do the same job as the more costly K&N type of filters.

I couldn't remember what it was called. They're still fairly new aren't they?

Yes they are some what new but many have used them and like them much better then the higher cost K&N filters and are easier to clean and are good for 100,000 miles. To clean them all you do is blow them out with the air hose and reinstall it.

I LOVE my Nano Filter.... 
Stock new filter I could pull my filter minder 1/2 way down ... With Stock ECU settings
Now with my EAa189 Amsoil Nano Filter (and a shower drain and hose cold air intake in the bottom of the air box) I can't budge the filter minder with the smarty on Wild #9 WOT!
AND more importantly NO DUST in the intake tube like with a K& N gause and oil type filters.
Best $ to CLEAN CFM.

Please tell us more about your "shower drain and hose cold air intake" in the bottom of your air box.

my 93 had a k&n on it when I bought the truck.
cleaned it several different times. engine seemed to starve for air. went back to a stock replacement and it runs a lot better!
yes, yes, I also had the fi pump replaced too
