    I saw where someone posted they cut the entire front of the airbox out. I took a more conservative approach.

    I Drilled a 1 5/8 hole in the front of the airbox right in the center of the depression. Did not remove the secondary filter.

    After doing so, I noticed the RPM at idle cold was about 200 higher. Also noticed the lag in acceleration that I was experiencing is gone.

    I have filled up my fuel tank and am going to check mileage. It really is a moot point whether it's better or worse. I'm just curious. I am most pleased that the lag is gone.
