Gregg, OTR (over the radiator) intake designs commonly report 10-15kW gains compared to the the factory airbox, which I believe on the VE draws cold air from inside the front guard. I don't have any real proof, but I reckon a pod filter drawing air from behind the radiator is probably worse than a modern factory setup, let alone a custom cold air intake. It would certainly be interesting to log the intake temps and compare different designs.
