alloy airbox, worth it?

[2strokesmoke]

is there power to be had from fitting an alloy airbox like the PB one or similar? im not buying one ive spent waaaaay to much n the blasty and want to get some use out of it before i spend anything else.
just curious if its a 0.5hp mod or if its a worth addition in the future?

i would say there is a significant gain from my box, just swapped my sons motor from my bike with a cfm airbox, into his with a stock box, and had to jet down from a 330 to a 300 main, i feel a difference too
on a stock box/boot the airway is constricted down at one point to around an inch, my cfm gives me 2 1/2 straight to the carb
heres a good deal on one too..........................

I have yet to see any flow bench numbers from any of the aftermarket airboxes.

my assflowbench <(yes, blood related to the assdyno)
and having to jet down when returning to a stock airbox bike says it flows more

That's about as good a test as any!

You're not going to gain anything just because the aftermarket boxes are made out of aluminum....it's the increased flow that they provide that is what should give you gains. More flow = more power (most of the time).
