twin turbo airfilter

I've been doing alot of looking for the right filter for the set of twins I've almost got done. The best I can tell is an amsoil EAAU4510 looks to be the biggest filter to be had. I've kinda looked at AFE filters but couldn't get threw there website very well.
The two sets of twins I've had before seemed like they were real hard on air filters. I'm moving my battery out of the way to get the most working room possible and will probably find another spot on the truck for it.
Anyone got any suggestions on different filters chime in.

I don't think the bhaf flows enough air for twins. My understanding it is around 400cfm and I'm thinking the small twins need around a 800 cfm air filter. I've looked at the amsoil,afe and k&n sight. I'm thinking a filter around 8 in. dia. and 8 to 12 inches long ought to work.

I don't know how much cfm my filter flows but it is about 8in round and is about 10 long. I can measure it to be sure if you want.

I bought a afe filter last night. Six inch inlet 7.5X5.5X12 inches long. I think it will fit easily where the battery used to set. I'll make an adapter pipe to get down to the 4.5 inch inlet pipe. I looked for an outerwear for it but didn't find one on the afe sight. They sure do help keep some of the dirt out of the filter.

I bought a brand new amsoil for mine a while back and the twins tried to turn it inside out by the second day it was on.

The two sets of twins I had before seemed to be real hard on filters. I'm hoping this one is alot bigger and will work better.
