The air bypass valve doesn't affect hp. It is sort of like a sponge and the water which will condense or get sucked up will be on the insides of the piping and will get absorbed by the valve, otherwise there is no other difference.

the air bypass opens up when the air pressure is affected due to water coming up the pipe (pretty sure on this one)

hp is affected but only a tiny bit, but its not like your intake is adding 30 hp anyway, and its always good to take the precaution
