From what I understand, there's not really a such thing as too much air...technically.
However, in forced induction systems (ie. turbo, supercharger), too much air can cause detonation, which is normally fixed with a higher capacity fuel pump.
In a stock (or near stock) car such as yours, the stock fuel pump and ECU should be able to make up for the extra air by pumping more fuel into the injectors.
If that individual is seeing horsepower loss, it's probably not because he's getting too much air. Again, that is unless he's running a turbo or SC without an aftermarket fuel pump. It's more likely that his Pop Charger, and plenum are are not jiving with each other, which is sometimes caused by brand mismatch. Not that the brand name has anything to do with it, just that each brand is designed to be most effective with that company's components. Therefor, if you use the JWT with, say, a Crawford plenum, it's not inconceivable that they may not work well together.
Of course it's always possible that he damaged the MAF sensor while installing the Pop Charger. The MAF right there on the end where you have to do a lot of the work during the JWT install.
If nothing else, I haven't heard of anyone having that issue, and there a lot of people here that have similar setups.
Someone correct me if wrong on this.
