Does an air-bypass valve sacrifice performance?
Is there a decrease in HP gain?

ridinnlow is 100% correct.. no gain or loss in hp... all it does is secure that if your filter gets wet, water will not enter your motor because the by-pass will activate and suck air in instead of your wet filter...

hey ridin you takingg the 5hr drive to the meet in westchester sunday?
