   For having a Drilled airbox over a proper designed intake.
   Pros = None.
   
   Cons = Everything

   Here's results from a recent rolling road day showing back to back testing of OEM airbox vs Raceland!
   
   
   
   Red line is standard airbox with K&N.
   
   Blue line is with Raceland Induction Kit and red filter.
   
   With K&N panel filter: 127.6Bhp @ 6400Rpm and 118lb/ft @ 3500Rpm
   
   Raceland Enclosed Induction Kit (Red filter): 132.1Bhp @ 6500Rpm and 121lb/ft @ 4500 Rpm.
   
   Raceland ftw
