Yeah, I wouldn’t have bothered adding additional insulation to fill gaps as that filter “box” area is starved for air IMO. If you’re adding additional airflow to the area that won’t hurt. That said…

…this is a serious possibility. I question the air filter size for two reasons:
1. Pray nets 35 WHP on a 930 WHP Camaro with simply removing the filter and adding a bell mouth.
2. I just put a nice CF Corsa CAI on my wife’s new Mustang GT and the filter they provide was bigger and better designed than the filter on my BG! My wife’s car needs 48 lbs/min of airflow…. I need 123 lbs/min of airflow… WTF lol
So couple questionable filter size with a “box” area that’s choked for airflow and I think it helps explain why cars that dyno big numbers often struggle to get drag strip performance that lines up. I noticed Jason Leiva’s car does not run the heat shield at all! So it’s pulling in “hot” engine bay air…and trapping 173 MPH. Lesson learned!
