Cool

Your air filters are not the problem. I think your car is just haunted.. in all seriousness you reassembled something incorrectly, thinking back to your carb flooding and questions regarding rebuilding and tuning Holley Carbs.. (was that in Dec.)

I suspect you got something stuck in an air bleed or other other orfice that has significantly changed your mixture.. As for the 61 bhp loss noted earlier, same concept.. final tuning especially when you are looking at dyno time / cost should be done with all periferal accessories in place when possible then and only then can you make a judgement on mixture / jeting bleed sizes..
