becasue the filter is tucked up in the corner of the engine bay I'm sure that there would be air flow around the filter but I don't see it being all that signifigant since its not directly in any kind of air stream.
However, I could see that the air flowing into the engine bay being warmer than at the dyno where it was indoors and the hood was open. On the highway, most of the air that comes into the engine bay has to first pass through the radiator where it will pick up some heat from the hot water inside the rad. Also have to take into effect ground level temperatures on the pavement, where on a sunny day they can be up to 50 degrees hotter than the air just a few feet off the pavement.

I wonder how sitting still on a dyno effected his numbers...... 
You would think that moving at highway speeds or city traffic would effect airflow around the filter and maybe the numbers would be different 
Very good point Ed.
Normally, numbers will be higher and "driving effects" will be felt more while driving on the streets (of course, the cooler the better) - ESPECIALLY when its intake related modifications.
That's a 6hp increase with still air.
This could effect it negatively as well. The plug could be blocking extra air that is coming in the the fender walls, however, with a 6hp increase with the cap in on the dyno....I leave the cap in and smile.

I think we all had to be there at 9:00 AM last time
Some of us met up on 495 around 8:30 and drove in from there.

Time to meet will most likely be in the 9 to 9:30am range.
That AM/PM selection doesn't really apply to us.
Currently we have 7. It's close so I'm going to hold off on have Kim extend the invite to the Cougar guys/gals.
If we get 10, that would be great, because that way, 1) it doesn't take as long and 2) the food will be served earlier and 3) there won't be such a rush to get a car on and off the dyno!
We'll wait another few days. Hopefully some more people sign up!
Where is Sergei anyway?? Has anyone kept in touch with him?
I'd like to check his car out and finally meet the guy! lol.
