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??

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!!!!
