jsut the filters alone are little to no help. they are capable of flowing more air, but the real restriction of stock TPI is the factory air boxes. it is a free mod to open them up and you can make little scoops for them out of about $2 of sheet metal, scrap aluminum flashing will do the trick actually.
those things all togehter would be plenty to take a race from side by side to you pulling a little.

what do u mean by litle scoops

i would have to show you on a car or someone can prolly dig up pictures of it for you to fully understand.
basically if you lift up the filters you see those baffles underneath that the air has to go through, cut them out. then fab up two little runners from sheet metal that go from under the air filters down to the grill openings to catch fresh air.
it is a very cheap "ram air" mod that the TPI crowd has been doing for many years.

and this should help me win the race cause he is talking crappy all over the place
