[ST] re: Airbox mods and filters

["Nowak, Nick" <n.nowak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While this test could provide useful info, it should be done with the engine
under load and the data should be recorded throughout the rev range.
Ideally it should be done during a dyno run.  This would allow for possible
direct correlations between points where power falls off and airbox pressure
changes.  Finding a way to make the airbox pressure higher at max rpm does
not in any way guarantee improvements in performance at lower rpm.
