Actually, the stock airbox is so restrictive that the Vararam makes a significant dyno proven gain over stock without tuning. That's what you can do with a real motor that didn't have everything tweaked from the factory like the SVT Contours did.
So, the engineers did such a bad job in making it, that a simple thing like an air box can make such huge gains? That is what I am getting out of that statement. Personally I would rather have the tweaked engine vs the under engineered one. Personal choice but that is just me.
