to put it bluntly, no. a stock box with a cut lid and a clean paper filter flows just fine.

Didn't Marc say there was no difference at all? 1-2hp is within dyno error anyway

Honestly for this small of a difference anything is possible to include dyno error. Now if it was 15 - 20 hp now we are talking

Stiffening the stock air bridge will net u more power.

modify your current air cleaner holder. ebay sells modified air cleaner lids that are very free flowing and work good with K&N air filters. dont waste your money on the slp unit.

For a comprehensive take on what adds hp, this form Marc Haibeck's web site will shed some light on performance mods...

ZR-1 Specialist

An aluminum insert for the air bridge will keep the plastic bridge from collapsing, thus pinching of air flow; more of a preventative measure than a HP adder.

I would suggest looking at Marc's list of modifications and establishing a master plan, rather than succumb to the considerable gadget HP hype so prevalent in our hobby. Just sayin!
