Lid Or Cone on Throttle Body? Ok so i heard tale of people just straight putting a cone on their throttle body. what are the ups and downs to this vs a regular whisper lid? and how would that work with the MAF?

O ok that makes sense. Well you can go with a speed density tune and eliminate the MAF setup. you will have no gains over this and probably lose hp. The lid is a great setup with the right performance parts. Ex: F.T.P 104 lid, TSP 100MM MAF w/ smooth bellow is a great setup.

ok actually i correct myself, it is a cone style filter attatched to the MAF and place right behind the WS6 Hood Cowls, i just saw the picture i was thinking of, but i guess the question still stands, what are the gains if any from having the air run throughthe cone filter behind the cowls, or through the lid?

The second part of your statement I agree with.... It is exactly what I run but if I was trying to eeek out every last HP I would go SD....

this is what my car had on it when i bought it. Its the k&n kit. I took it off and replaced it with a stock ss bottom intake. slp lid and what ever filter came with the lower slp ram air kit.
