Uhh, maybe it's getting more air and fuel cramed in the motor making more power. More air blows through the MAF, the MAF tells the computer that there is more air, the computer adds more fuel which makes more power. I may be wrong about this but if I am I'd like some one to explain to me why. The guy that tuned my car told me I could go from 8 psi to 12 without retuning it. I've already went from 8 to 10 almost a year ago and it hasn't blown up yet. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't adding two more lbs of boost be blowing a lot more air through the MAF than taking the filter off?

Because anytime you alter the path, flow or velocity of the air across the MAF you change how it reads, therefore the A/F ratio. Lean = more horsepower, how do you think you gained if not for the leaner mixture?

Why would it lean the car out? That's what the MAF is for, to meter the amount of air and add the proper amount of fuel.

All I can say is if your tuner approves the removal of the air filter, then he should be the one to replace your shortblock. Please post the name of your tuner if he has approved this mod. I will be sure to avoid him.
