Very interesting, so you say you can definitely feel a difference with only the 987 air box? I might do this while my engine is out, simply because the expense seems fairly low and the possibility of added power/torque is tempting. And then a further upgrade to a larger throttle body and MAF would be very simple, other than required software needed.

How about sound? Does it change the intake sound at all?

And as ike, I would love a dyno test but doubting you have one since that doesn't really make sense for just changing the air box.

But further details on power improvement and feel would be appreciated.

Thanks.
