yea thats fine to remove that piece.

it will help increase air flow a lot!

just remember to change the filter regularly.

wont hurt.

I would look at better spark plugs, high end air filter, hotter ignition coil and heavier plug wires.

stock will run stock.

ask at your local parts store for upgrades. they will have a good idea.

just get a list, dont buy right then. they may try to sell product you dont need or wont make a difference.

Was not on line too much last night. but Kevin pretty much covered it. I had a 200 mustang and removing the prefilter horn was a big deal.
