Default not pluggin up old nos holes on lid, is that a problem?

i was wondering if that would be a problem or would cause one, i had a nos dry kit on my car and drilled holes on each side, and since i took it off, i havent plugged them up yet. does this cause any damage?

Shouldn't cause an immediate problem, but it will let unfiltered air into the engine...it would suck to suck some water/dirt/crap into there and grenade your engine... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Just to be safe, I'd at least duct tape them until you can fill 'em properly...

Go to a local parts store and buy the little
black plastic push type caps.
the ones that have the flat head and the
plastic threaded push in threads....

They are common for trim stuff.

Should set you back about $1.
