Remember guys, the engine is a big air pump and the more efficiently you can draw the air in and blow it out the more power you'll make.

That’s why opening up (desnorkeling) the air intake, installing a low restrictive air filter, adding a turbocharger, supercharging are great ways to increase the intake volume. The same can be said about headers, there're less restrictive than stock and that compliments the scavenging of the cylinder to make way for the next charge. But not as much as to burn valves by not providing the proper back pressure.

Nitrous Oxide, now that's a different animal and doesn’t follow this line of thinking.
