Sounds like your airbox gave you those bumps in power.
The screen is not a restriction. Unless someone can show a cfm comparison, I'll never believe it's a restriction. Just an air direction device. So if you are getting gains from removing your screen and don't have issues, then your particular setup (more than likely your CAI) is causing the air to move a certain path through your MAF to net you a leaner tune. In a stock scenario, lean can be good.Can be, not necessarily is.
Maybe a .002 cfm restriction. LOL
