k&n claims their pleated filter material flows 6.03cfm per square inch
im not sure how accurate this is but it seems to explain what your looking to accomplish.

You can call K&N and they will tell you cfm ratings of their filters.

It is a K&N #3260. With the longer one piece air dam, I think I can fit the 12" version, the 10" version for sure. The whole air intake was from Red Armstrong.

The example on the right (blue filter), looks to be the "Scotty Air II/III" system as adapted to the Cummins Ram.
Scotty Filter Co., went to INA for their improved (replacement) foam filter element.
I replaced my K&N (washed it way too many times) and updated to the 2 layer foam element.
Just serviced it the first time and I'm more than pleased with the job it performs for my HO ISB.
Note: The INA foam filter cleans up better and easier than the K&N and does a better filtering job.
UN-less you are running a turbine, I see no reason the Scotty system would be restrictive on the S2. (It's plenty big).

Note...when comparing one filter rating with another, make sure they are all rated at the same pressure drop! 100 cfm/sq in at 1" of Hg is way different than 100 cfm/sq in at 5" of Hg. You also need to know what size particle the filter media is collecting since a filter media good to 1 micron is way different than one good to only 100 microns. Be sure you are comparing apples with apples.
