I ran these for years:
But just recently switched to this with a sock:
Now I have a filter restriction gauge and neither of these has registered on the gauge yet.
The gauge is very sensitive. I cover a bit of the snorkel inlet with my hand and it will max it out at idle.
I ran an AEM dry-flow on my previous truck for many years as well.
Out here in this fine dust the AEM is probably the safer bet.
Both these selections were the largest I could fit in the footprint I have.
The diesel does not have the peak air flow you might see on your V8 but there is no throttle so over the the same timeframe there will be a lot more air mass that has been flowed through my filter than most spark ignition engines. Hence the larger elements on diesels!

Do you have any pictures of your setup?
