Holes in the top of the air box???.....you mean above the filter? No, it's a horrible idea, unfiltered air will enter the motor carrying with it dirt and grim which will cause premature ring failure.

just tell him to get an aftermarket lid, people sell them so cheap in the used section sometimes. and holes letting unfiltered air isnt a good idea overtime plus it just might cause too much turbulence and hurt airflow.

I just realized something.
evolution1971 - This guy, friend of yours that did this, what kind of car are we talking about that he did this to?
I'm thinking now it was not an LS1 but another car with maybe a conical filter and he just might have chopped/drilled the let more air in?
If not LS1 then fine, but on the LS1 the top of the "airbox" is an area after the filter and crap would get in.
Peace,
Craig.
