Default RE: Weird Performance from engine

I have not been able to run it yet but I have done some modifying. I have added an air filter element in order to help keep water out of the carb. I know that it isn't necessary but it should help keep the carb dry. The black air filter assembly actually has no actual filter in it but is there more or less as a shield. Hopefully I can run it in the next couple of days and check everything out. My buddy just picked up a new Vegas Duece and is dying to go break it in and wants me to go as he has never had to break in a nitro engine. Maybe I'll bring my Elam and do some testing. Does anyone have any bad experiences with adding an air filter? Thanks guys for all of your help.

P.S. - Hopefully the pictures upload. In the pics are a few different air filter configurations that I am thinking of running.
