My own testing over the years has convinced me that there's more to be had than what the OE airbox yields. But it can be dependent on what exhaust you're running too.
Switching airboxes at the strip for example, one airbox with the rain block/one without saw a .10 gain when using the airbox with the rain block removed. Testing an OE airbox on a major corporation's giant flowbench saw the passenger side flowing more air than the driver's side due to the left side outlet being obstructed more by the rain block than the right.
Stuff like that, most of which I've posted about previously.
I've been busy finishing up an experimental airbox mod..and a short test drive tells me this new mod idea actually works!

(..no one's ever posted about doing it) I think I'm going to have to start calling this airbox
Frankenbox - it's been reworked so much and has so many varied fasteners holding everything together. I was hoping to take advantage of the GB on the SCT programmers to compliment the mod, but I was unable to get enough info to go through with it.
The driving season's still young - could be an interesting Summer !
