I got bored

So i took a grinder to the restriction on the bottom of the air filter housing. I dont have a pyro still but i have noticed a little difference on how it feels at every point of pedal. guess i need to get bored again and go take the other half of it out...

it was explained to me before that some had the soup bowl and some did not, the ones that did not have a very restrictive opening on the base of the air filter housing. i dont think the opening is but about half of the total size of the air inlet on the engine itsself.
