Yes but you are running with the vane completly opened, with it at partial opening you 
will have restriction to account for.
Hey K&N are making million's with ther air filters that offer less restriction and smooth 
out air flow.
And many independant dyno tests have been done on there air filters and all show 
improuvements in HP and air flow.
