I believe a write up is in order! Well, perhaps there should be a disclaimer at the beginning because I am sure somebody will actually try this.

when you first look at it, it looks like soapy water or something,

we need a write up???

is that a number 2 or number 3 phillips?
how much force did you have to put on the screwdriver to punch the holes?
did you make them in and out, or did you wiggle the screwdriver to make the holes bigger for extra flow???
exactly how many holes?
how much horsepower did you get?

Dude, looks like a rat in need of a cotton nest got a hold of you filter! Maybe the elbow delete mod was not such a great idea!??!

Try this, it will be less susceptible to letting water into the intake.

Ha ha, no dyno yet, but I can definitely feel the extra HP over the whole RPM range. Also, since the engine is burning off oil like crazy now, that means it's making more power, right?

Jeenyus04 - Send in your oil filter and cash. Do you want the 100-hole version ($20) or 150 ($30)? (150 hole = more power. I'm experimenting with a 200-hole beta version). I charge more for extra holes.

I guess there is always one in the crowd that does not get the joke...
