Default AIR Filters quandary

Has anyone ever dyno'd a motor to see which style air filter is better? I've been runnin stock losi duel filter with some horse wrap around that -disposing wrap each race for new. I was wondering if that is robbing myself of horsepower or fuel miliage. More air =more HP more HP= more fuel but if I'm choking air I can't make any HP and not getting the beneift of restrictors.

Unless you are going around with dirty filters all the time, or not changing regularly it really shouldn't matter. You tune the engine to the conditions, one of which is your air filter. So if you had two air filters, one which lets thru more air really shouldn't matter since you would tune the engine for performance with each filter. So choose a filter that does the best job of giving clean air and tune your engine regularly. My opinion anyways.
