Default Air lid broke, how much hp loss?

Well I had some problems with my air lid, and I had to put my stock one back on. It could be another month before I have the money to get a new one . Anyway my mods are in my sig and I was wondering with the mods I got, what would I loose by putting the stock lid back on? Thanks

If the loss is anything but minimal, you'd feel it at the SOTP.

At your mod level the loss will be at least 15rwhp.

You should be able to get a used lid for well under $100.

I really would, but I am scraping for money for my clutch as it is (I need a tranny rebuild, flywheel, upgraded hydrolics AND the clutch). Then after the tranny/clutch, I need a new set of tires. Man, my list just keeps growin .
