if we dont have enough air to breathe in we choke and die, but with the whole sky around us as a supply we can breathe as much as we want to/can. Same principle.

This is true but...
Don't have enough air = if the filter is wrapped in plastic.
Whole sky... = if the filter placed in a spot where there is running/forced air into it the filter
Sure, if you have a tiny ass filter, the engine will have some trouble sucking in air. I've yet to see anybody "Upgrade" to a smaller filter lol
The engine will only suck in as much air as it can. Besides too much air will f up the fuel air mixture. One of the only things that will jack up the intake is the incorrect tubing used to connect the filter to the manifold. For example, if air dryer ducting is used, it will cause for air turbulence because of all the ridges on it. However if CAI tubing is used, the flow of air will be smooth (which equals good) The filter, a cone filter (which you have?) will suck in more air then a flat one. The only suggestions I could give you would be to make sure you use tubing that is smooth, a cone filter, locate the filter by a place where there is plenty of COLD air, the filter is away from heat, and if the tubing is metal, wrap it w/ heat resistant wrap (keeps the cold air cold).
Glad to see you see some results. Now get a camaro!
