Default SE ventilator A/C cfm flow rate?

Anyone know the limitation of this air cleaner? what TQ/HP will it support? It's a narrower filter than most and wondering how it stacks up? I have searched it but found nothing real concrete, thanks in advance.

228.4 cfm @1.5 inH20
That's for the k&n element for the ventilator. I have nothing too extreme but should be good for most builds.
HD-0910 is the part #.

www.joescyclerepair.com has filters for those twice as thick as OEM.

For most Stage I configurations. A good set of heads will flow more air than that filter at about 3500 rpms and the filter becomes the bottleneck.

I called K&N and was told 331cfm. The info I had was test data off that filter #. I guess that data was based off bench flow with certain restrictions. Based off element size 331cfm was the approximate flow rate given. The test data is on their website under the pn mentioned earlier.

Thanks for the feedback. Is the original filter for this more restrictive than the K&N replacement?
