Good work, That is what race tires will do. Now that you know what a little thing like filters can do go get a tune

Wait a minute. A set of air filters made the car faster, not the tires? Sorry, can't buy that one. The stock PSS tires are traction limited through third gear. More mechanical grip = faster acceleration. A couple horsepower thanks to air filters = probably not measurable in any circumstance. People tend to equate a change in sound to a change in speed. Think about it, they changed the rear end gearing on the Coupe and got 1/10th to 60. Air filters alone won't do that.

I used to work with a dyno operator. He could generally tell you how much power you would lose with any given air intake kit, then back up his claim on the dyno.

If you're talking about just a different filter inside the stock housing, forget it. You might get one or two horsepower, but that will come at the cost of swallowing more dirt. A stopwatch won't notice the difference.
