Default Could this be hurting my times?

When I first got my car and ran it with jut cutout and fra it ran a 8.5 at 84. A few months after running that I noticed the piece of plastic that is in front of the radiator and goes up to the box was all cut up (somehow I dont know how for sure). I talked to a friend about it and he said he knew of guys that just took the whole piece out. So I ripped it out that night. Ever since then I have not been able to break into the 8.5's just 8.6's and I have added mods. Could that piece be the cause of this? If im to vague about the piece I will try to explain it better.
