The C&L and Pro-M are calibrated for their larger flow rates, so even if they are flowing more, the computer knows about it and compensates for it.

When removing the screen or especially the post, the engine is getting more air then the computer thinks it is and sends the proper amount of fuel for less air. So it runs a little lean.

Better flow is good, as long as the fuel is properly matched up.
