This chart may help explain your experience in picture form, and also folks should make note that once a given mass of air reaches a certain velocity it will not follow along anything greater then a 15 degree radius without sheering away from where you want it to go!

Just like water air wants to take the path of least resistance.

Also not that with Q-jets that the speed of the air entering the primary's is far faster then those big secondary's, so a air cleaner base with a bigger gentler radius around those small primary's helps a bunch!!

Don't hesitate to aid that radius shape with some epoxy.

Weather more air cleaner area will help you out all depends on how much HP the motor is making and how much air that perticular brand filter your running flows
