What are the differences between an open air filter and an airbox type air filter? I know it's louder with an open filter but what about performance?

The gain is usually noise. I quit using pod filters when I realized I was getting the same results with stock airboxes. Even on larger carbs a stock air box with the snorkel removed will work. Don't remove the snorkel when using a stock carb though, because then you're just causing yourself more jetting and tuning issues than you need.

Is it bad if there's oil in my airbox?

Use something you can get in there and measure it. A piece of solder bent maybe.

I only have a 14mm carb... 14mm sounds about right. a little oil in the airbox is normal. |

Will that still be big enough with a BBK?

I don't think so. Most say a minimum 17mm and a 19 is preferred.
