I'd also like to know what the 987 intake is like as I haven't been in there to check the air filter yet.
A sharp edged intake lip has the potential to cause as much as a 20 percent flow loss as opposed to something that is shaped on the inside and outside surfaces. The most bang for the buck is the inside trumpet shape with a bell mouth further reducing losses.

I am speaking about airflow losses here not hp.
