If you can get a decent and good airfeed to an airbox, the airbox is better imo.

Drill your airbox and put a K&N panel filter in. best of both worlds then.

Standard airbox (enlarged entry) will do 500bhp.. Not sure exactly where it becomes too much of a restriction though.

It varies from car to car. The test we did on a Mondeo V6 demonstrated that a Pipercross Vector-style enclosed air filter works best - i.e. reduces heat soak the most.

It will only decrease BHP at the point it starts struggling for airflow, I doubt you will reach that point on a T34 Phil.

At your power level, standard airbox over a cone. Cones are for retarded people
