Butt sensor is always more sensitive than dyno.

Interesting...but i've met tuners that always almost always claim that the stock air box is more restrictive. I suppose the key to using pod filters is the tuning magic which is not demonstrated or discussed in the first video. I know my tuner could not achieve 400 horses from my last ride with stock airbox, until I changed to an open pod and he achieved (at 425 horses).

No pods for me after seeing these videos.

Also important to know where that extra power was made - across the rev range or only in the upper rev range. Inlet tract length, heimholtz resonance chamber (if employed in the design of the stock air box) etc will affect low end torque which is what we need to get off the line quickly.
