The only difference between that air cleaner and any other is the dual snorkle. The more air you can get in the better off you are. There is always a point when either the snorkle or the filter is the limiting factor though. Basically, it does no good to have a snorkle(s) that flow more air than the filter can flow or vise versa. Also the colder air you have entering the carb/TBI the better the engine will run.

Be careful not to confuse the word "snorkel", meaning the intake pipe into the air cleaner, with the word "snorkel", meaning a great bloody pipe outside the truck going up to the roofline for under-water crossings.

I have some posts on the topic...
