    Volume increases per stroke I can understand, but I'm not an engineer so...

    besides, isnt the stock box good up to like 400whp?, then there after it begine to be a limiting factor? And even then, how much are you really missing.

    At 350whp it becomes a bit of a restriction on our mustang dyno, I have found.

    It freed up 24whp on my personal evo:

    Hey Bryan, was this with your hacked up stock airbox, or was this with the filter in the engine bay without the airbox? It seems like just leaving it out ends up resulting in pretty high IAT's.

    Filter in engine bay without anything. Yes, it can lead to high IAT's. On the track with it open I saw a full point richer AFR because of the higher intake temp. Now I have it with the stock airbox and it didnt richen up as much on track.

    I have the Monster Sport 2 drop-in filter. Its the wet/oil type. There are some bits of oil splashes on the bottom of the stock airbox whenever I check but none of it reaches the honeycomb or MAF sensor.

    I clean the MAF with CRC maf spray like every 3 months anyway.

    actually i was leaning towards the aftermarket intake, i thought that the airflow would be better with it instead of the stock intake...correct me if im wrong, im still learning...
