You are missing the point. Your claims about increased throttle response are garbage unless you can prove it. Auto x or road course is the only way to do this. Unless you use a stopwatch your claims are as bad as Letterman's jokes.
0-60 times will not support your claims hoss.
OK "hoss", I get your point, I'm just saying that I don't care if I'm wrong and I don't feel the need to prove it to you.
Please stop crapping up my thread. If you think its BS, thats fine, I think we've all gotten that by now. Quit grandstanding.
If this were a car I was going to race, then I might care, but its not, so I don't. I like it modified as it is, and thats what matters. I don't care if you think my claims are bogus. You're entitled to that opinion. They may be.
What I know about intake design (I'm not gonna get into a credentials battle with you, but I do know a fair bit) tells me I'm improving things, and my (admittedly imprecise) butt dyno back that claim up. I'll stick to autocrossing my Mazda3 cuz that makes a lot more sense than racing the E (nice lotus btw Dom).
To update. . . I did install my own replacement for the stock airbox this weekend. I basically took the stock airbox out, left the stock rubber elbow that all the sensors attatch in place. Basically, stock airbox has been repalced by a 22 degree bend piece of tubing thats about 7" long with an AEM dryflow filter on the end and an ebay heatshield oriented to attempt to block air from being pulled from behind the exhaust manifold. Total cost, around $60. I'll try and take pictures next weekend. Results so far are that both me and my wife like it a lot.
Throttle response is improved by .1 seconds (+/- .2 second measurement error)
0-60 times are improved by .3 seconds (+/- .5 seconds measurement error)
HP is improved by 6 hp (+/- 10 hp measurement error)
