The gains / benefits from that, specifically in terms if consistency are huge and far more substantial to whatever gains you see from an intake

Plus, i dont think anyone claims power gains from intakes on stock tunes

An intercooler -- especially in your locale -- would make a big difference.

Thanks all of you! I have learned a little from each. I am actually planning on keeping the stock air box now, it just has the best design IHMO and I also plan on putting my stock filter back in. What FMIC is recommended? Any idea what set up is on the MotoGP safety car? What ever BMW did to that car, I am willing to do to my own!
