estimated hp lost from pods to airbox

[RagunCajun]

It poored down last night and it got my thinking about going play in the water with my shee. I can't do that siince i have pod filters.

I'd like to know how much power i will lose if i use an airbox instead of my k&n pods i currently have. Id like to know if i will notice it using the "pants on the seat dyno."

I did the switch from a pod k and n to an airbox with a Kand N,and no lid,and i didnt notice a big difference.

id say 1-2 rwhp

[RagunCajun]

ah so i wont notice at all. That's good to know.

I need to go dig up the airbox and see how it mounts up. The bike never had it on there even when i bought it.

id get the proflo K&N clamp on billet ring though an run no lid at al lon the box

[ROACHIE]

you dont even have to bolt it down just throw it on and tighten the clamps on the carbs and go thats how i ran mine

if your gonna play in the water i would run that lid, or at least put tape between the fenders and airbox to cover the big gap and that stops a ton of water

i've gotten a lil water in my airbox from the vented lid and small breathers around the airbox

That's exactly right.
After 5 dyno runs with each setup (verified correct jetting with an AF meter)
Smallest difference was 1.3 HP, largest was 2.2...

So...you MIGHT feel a hair less punch.

We've never tested a larger ported/stroker engine, a la cubs, twister, etc.
I'm pretty sure if you're running that big of an engine, it's not being used for much trail riding...
