K&N Flow Control System

A Revolution In Air Cleaner Technology

The Flow Control System utilizes a newly designed base in combination with a unique lid designed to reduce intake turbulence. The resulting smooth, laminar flow enhances cylinder filling, horsepower, and torque. The filter element is the world famous K&N Filtercharger^® for the ultimate in airflow and filtration.

The flow control system is legal in California only for racing vehicles which may never be used, registered, or licensed for use upon a highway. See knfilters.com for CARB status on each part for a specific vehicle.

2-Barrel Flow Control Systems

2-Barrel Holley With and Without Choke Tower

Circle Track Magazine discovered this model and featured it in one of their issues. That started the racers calling. Fits the very popular 4412 Holley 2-barrel by removing the choke assembly and leaving the choke tower untouched. Gigantic increase in air flow and lots of horsepower. The small block with about 340-360hp can expect up to a 15-17hp increase. In the 400-420hp range the range increase climbs up to 20-22hp. If your engine builder tells you that is impossible, just take one to him and run it on the dyno. Two sizes available and all the air you’ll ever need. Diagram of this flow control system.

After watching all the work to create the Flow Control compromised by a badly designed wrap, it just seemed smart to control that part of the installation also. Designed to control heat and help the air flow.

2-Barrel Rochester

The choice of quite a few racing associations. This carburetor is used in an attempt to equalize competition. If you have to use this carburetor, you “must” use this air cleaner. It may be the most trick piece we have. Clears the HEI distributor on the cast iron manifold. Only one size offered because only one size works.  Diagram of this flow control system .

4-Barrel Holley With and Without Choke Tower

The inspiration for this particular air cleaner was the 390 cfm Holley. Many tracks and racing organizations use this carburetor as a restrictor. Flows plenty on the 390 and you can pass it all the way up to the mighty 850 and it keeps on making horsepower. Available in two sizes and complete with all parts necessary.

4-Barrel Holley Low Profile without choke tower
This air cleaner was designed for those installations with the carburetor mounted high against the hood. An engine that requires 700 cfm or more to develop a certain level of power just will not work with hood clearance that will only allow 450. There are race cars with less than 1/2" between the hood and the vent tubes of the carb. This model Flow Control is as low as is recommended to assure maximum air flow. In fact, it was necessary to enlarge the diameter to 16" to get the proper approach to turn the corner. Fits 390-850 Holley. Diagram of this flow control system .

NOTE: This model works only without the choke tower and works great with restrictor plate engines. If you’re working with these engines, call the factory and get all the info. Available in two sizes with all necessary parts.
