They probably are. Much like Superchips and Edge are both owned by Holley. The superchips tune, edge tune and Holley's programmer are all the same tune in fact.

I doubt you're running short of air with a paper filter. The cotton filters flow more air and dirt. I prefer to keeep the dirt out.

there's a massive cfm difference between paper and cotton filters. Paper will prob flow enough to make the same power, sure. But it takes a load to actually draw that power through the engine and slows rev speed. On the street the level of filtration isn't going up make a difference. If you only drive on gravel, sure. In town you'll never notice
