Question Anyone Ever Do This...

ever take your air filter out and drive around to see if u feel a difference? i did it today to my SS, and i swear i felt a big difference, definitely sounded different too, you can hear more intake noise. i have a 97 Camaro SS, lt1, its the one with the ram air that is actually functional, not the ls1. i took off the top plastic piece and the filter out and drove it for about a half hour. when i got home, i didnt wanna put it back in, i felt as if i was taking off one of my mods! LOL i wonder how bad it is for the motor to drive around with no air filter at all? Mike
P.S. i have no screen inside the air flow meter, that got yanked out a long time ago, so there is nothing to stop dirt from entering motor.

!!CHEVY!!

I have a 30th Anneversary Camaro ss too!! I love that car, It blows my sisters 1999 Z28 out of the water off the line. I`ve done the air filter thing too, I noticed a huge difference as well, it improved my 1/4 by over 1/2 second, and it increased my 0-60 by .3 seconds.

Tried on my lightning and did not notice a huge difference.

you mean this one----------

Its bad enough we have to worry about engine parts creating holes in the block. I'm not taking any chances on crap getting sucked in the intake.
