Re: how much do you need to worry about hydrolock
as long as your wheel liners are in place and you aren't slammed to the ground you will be fine if you avoid flooded streets, rivers and lakes. i really wouldn't worry about it a ton but DEF if its raining really bad and your area is prone to flooded you might want to rethink your drive.

well by the time i put the bypass on the horse power is equal to what the short ram would be so...i'll just do that. it's not worth risking a 2600$ motor for a few horses

You will have no problem as long you don't drive WOT through VERY deep puddles. Which is extremely stupid anyway.

Re: how much do you need to worry about hydrolock
I've had one on my car for 4 years straight and never had a problem. My car is pretty low and sometimes I pass over small puddles. I think basically as long as your not flooring it over giant puddles or driving into one deep enough to cover it (almost did that once...couldnt even see the damn puddle)

Not that its the same but I've mobbed through a very flooded street(didn't look that flooded due to the curbs were almost 3 feet high). I was driving a 93 Toyota pickup and the engine stumbled and stalled just as I made it out of the water. Started right up and cleared out the water. I guess it was just luck though.

Re: how much do you need to worry about hydrolock
okay.. so I haven't really had much experience in this area.. but I thought I would just throw this out there.. Is the intake vacuume really strong enough to pull moisture from the damp filter and up through the pipe? and even then, would that moisture not just be expelled from the motor through the combustion/exhaust? ( this is looking at it from the normal splatter of water from the road below or the tire) I totally get the big puddle and submerged pipe.. but how strong is the intake vacuume?.. feel free to school me!

but to the op, ive never heard of the bypass losing powr. it doesnt really effect anything until the filter is submerged.
if you search around i think there is a vid of an nsx with the filter fully submerged while on the dyno.
