Im going to the track today and just to get a little bit of power i took out my stock air filter. will i be ok as long as nothing gets in the engine

 

yep do it when u get there.

 

put a sock over it

 

put one on your avatar!

 

i just tried the Sock. it seemed like a good idea but i guess my socks are to thick, the engine almost stalled. i am just going to take of the "power box" when i get to the track

 

i would laugh if your sock gets sucked in.



THEN i would feel sorry for you.

 

Trust me. You don't want to do that. If your car is an 05 or 06, leave the stock air box in place, just buy a K&N drop-in filter that will last you for ever.
I recently switched back to the stock air box from a JWT pop-charger, and gained 1.5 MPH in the 1/8 mile. Right now, I have the stock air box with the K&N filter and removed the resonator at the bottom of the box.

 

Im an 04. And i thought the jwt pop was suppose to give good gains

 

The thing is, it heat soaks and it doesn't provide the ram air effect that the stock air box does. Does your stock box have a velocity stack?

 

i would leave the box alone it is only gonna suck in hot unfiltered air
