Get the hydroshield. Period. Hell, I have one on my SS/SC, and I still have this happen if its raining hard enough and I go into boost. But without the hydroshield, I know it would have been worse. And yes, i have an oiled filter.

 

You're in Jersery...

Go drive over to Tune Time Performance in Toms River. Ask Matt Hauffe, the owner, and he'll show you the dyno graphs when he dyno'd a dryflow vs an oiled filter back to back. I don't give a **** if you want to run your dry-flow or not. Oil repels water, this guy is worried about water, /thread...

 

Well I have mine as an SRI, so water isn't an issue. If I ever have the time, I'll swing by there.

Thanks!

 

i drive in the rain fine, im not scared, and i have a blower, mine sucks in water more than yours does, my filter is located on the driver side under the headlight, i have open slits were air/water can fly thru, no worries...
