i was thinking it was around 50hp gain the way it pulls with it off . when you dynoed it with the filter off did you see the boost kick in sooner and did you see a gain in boost?

this is what i did...
How much PSI are you running on that? That looks like a good idea for the track...

according to my logs in hpt its hitting 15.9 psi with the filter, i havent logged it with out the filter yet but my gauge reads 2 psi more but its a digi gauge so its can be off sometimes. last time i went out to log with the filter off i spun my water pump pulley off lol. i will be going out this weekend to log it and ill report back.

I'm in for the results! Looking to see if it will hold when I go to 20+ after procharger upgrade....

Man honestly I don't know about the boost & I have a huge convertor so I didnt really notice coming on quicker - mines pretty violent on the dyno , prochargers spool retarded fast , it seemed about the same

how big is your converter ? how much psi are you hitting and what did you put down on the dyno ?

Some of you guys are running no filter on the streets?? I guess I am to paranoid to try that.

The track is controlled and I know there won't be random dirt and other crap that I could suck up

Here's one I made up from a Spectre 6" to 4" air filter adapter and 1/4 grid stainless steel screen.

The mesh has 16 holes per inch so its small enough to keep nuts and bolts, wiring, or small pets out lol, but not so tight that it restricts flow too badly. Also its rigid enough that there is no possibility that it will get sucked in. 2 to 3 psi more on a maxed D1 when swapped from a 9" cone filter.
