Don't have one on yet but VI thought
 
Has anyone tried it w/ the stock intake? I'm wondering if since the pop chargers really help in the high end but sacrafice a little in the low end; would putting the stock intake w/ the VI be the best of both worlds? You'd have the low end torque back and the car should breath better in the high end once the VI opens. :gotme: I'm gonna try it when I get mine but has anyone given this any thought? THanks.

I don't believe there would be any benefit. The more air you can flow up top the better, putting a stock intake back on would be negating the entire purpose of the VI, high end power. There have been tests done with VI+JWT and VI+ Hybrid intake, the hybrid intake helped out high end power. Meaning the more air you can flow the better. Stock airbox would be a waste.

Not that I believe all this "JWT POP loses low end power" BS, but even on the off chance that it did lose like 3 ft-lb at 1500 RPM, who cares? The benefits far outweigh any drawbacks, if the drawbacks even exist.
