whats the affect of running with no lid or air duct. ive seen guys running
mafless with nothing on the tb at all, like wide open throat.
can you run that for just a streeter car,, thanks

Yea, street car and no filter....NO. Maybe they were running SD and were running at the track? Dunno?

also good way to give your car a nice gulp of water if it rains possibly.

I ran at the track with tb bellow to maf.....cut a lil off the e/t mph was slightly better thats about it.....id do it again but it just depends on how bad you want that e/t i mean cuz i would never consider it on the street....my maf was screened to so as to keep out any of the larger debry and such

hmmm funny I have seen many pro stock cars running open tbs at the track so rather then just throwing out some random garble why not expound as to why you feel this way.....

obviously because most people like to drive their car on the street, where anything could get sucked in there

How many pro stock cars do you see driving on the street?

While making a 1/4 mile pass, there's really not a whole lot of time for dirt to make it's way in there.

Even that said, I still wouldn't do it if I was them, I don't see how they don't swallow huge bugs and ****. Oh well...

Well, for one, they don't have lights that attract them.
Pro-stock cars are usually running a carburated setup anyway, and some of them have a blower sitting on top.
I have however seen people run with just a lid and no filter on the street. Is it a good idea? No, probably not. I would consider it for the drag strip, but not for the elements of the road.

I never said nething about doing it on the street.....but i have seen quiet a few setups at rt. 66 dragway with open tbs....not just carb setups although that would be approximatly the same would it not....street= NO BUENO track= why not??

Panty hose FTW!!!!!

You have to think though...this is your personal car...not an all out race car that gets its motor rebuilt at least once a season. All out drag car motors are freshened up or rebuilt at least once a year. Do you really want to take your motor apart every year and clean it out, and freshen it up. They change the oil after every weekend at least b/c that **** gets dirty in a car that only sees WOT all the time. I did it on the dyno to see what happens. It gained me quite a bit of power... but as far as on the street or even at the track, I wouldn't do it b/c I know the second I did, something would get sucked in and my **** would blow up!!

not everyone on here uses it as solely a personal car my friend....some yas but obviously those that do should refrain...however i see no problem runnin open maf at the track.....panty hose if your wantin to be extra precautious!!!!

The top fuel and funny car guys tear down the engine between races, not exactly an apples to apples comparison
