I'd like to stop by but am not sure yet since that day is the same day that I will be heading home from NH with a jet ski in tow.

100% sure now; just signed up. 
Almost forgot - I think I would like to do one run with the MAF screen in and one with it out to see if there is any difference. I think that may put some debate on this site to rest and I am very interested if there is any difference.
That's a great idea. Also, if Jay is unable to make it, someone can test out his theory regarding the Air Filter cap (KKM IIRC). That blue cap that goes in one end of the filter.

no need to re-test it hugo.
he proved it last time with a 6hp increase with the cap in.

Oh really? I didn't think he removed the cap. I know the cap was in but I thought he forgot to remove the cap.

I did. But if I remember you had to leave early. After you left and everyone was through, myself and a few others paid extra for a second dyno run and thats when i got in a few more runs with and without the cap in the KKM. It was a suprising increase in power from capping the end of the filter.
I never tested the idea with the MAF screen, but I tried it once at home and the butt dyno said there was better throttle response and a little more power especially in teh low RPMs. The dyno is the best place to test it out since you get real numbers rather than just relying on the sensation of acceleration during road testing without any kind of test equipment.

ok. cool. Yeah, I had to take off that day - 45 minute drive back to New Bedford, then a 4 hour drive up to Bartlett, NH! That sucked. In the rain & snow up there....took move like 6 hours to get there. damn - that was a rough day.
so a 6hp increase. wow. that's pretty significant.

I wonder how sitting still on a dyno effected his numbers...... 
You would think that moving at highway speeds or city traffic would effect airflow around the filter and maybe the numbers would be different
