Dont do that. Thats very hack like to run with no filter. You wont notice any difference in power. Do it right. Run a proper lid with filter.

it would be differnet doing it at the track for 1/4 mile than driving everyday wiithout a filter...although I dont think having it off would make a huge difference...and the guys running without a MAF are doing so becuase they are using a Speed Density tune.

i know guys at the track run without a lid and filter sometimes. BUT most everyone else plays it safe and keeps it all on. i dont think the improvments are that large and definately not worth the risk
