Default Air cleaner cover

Men,
There's a thread here regarding the s&s cover. It made me think of my setup.
I'm running CFR mufflers, Vance and Hines power duals, tuned with a power vision, and a Screaming Eagle AC, with the stock cover.

My question is, can I get more realistic power (which I can feel) if I changed the stock cover? I'm wondering if the stock cover is preventing air from flowing into the AC.

Thanks!

Thanks guys.
So, am I fine with my air intake? to be honest, I really haven't thought about the SE AC until today. Would I gain anything if I installed the Arlen ness big sucker

took my ac cover off. put back on. took off. put back on. finally its off for good. im sorry but there is definitely a little better throttle response at all rpm and i can feel the difference in response especially at 3000 rpm and i crack the throttle wide open. bike just run crisper. but. to each his own. just saying what my experience was.
