Default Need help with intake mod

I am looking for some advice on intake mods. The blackwing seems to be the most popular. What are the opinions about it? Also, can anyone shed more light on drilling or "swiss cheese" mod on the housing? I read in another post that this along with a K&N filter will have the same effect as a blackwing. You input is greatly appreciated.

I realized that after I posted. :bb I just jumped over and posted. I have read the other threads. So let me try and turn this into something. Can nayone list the HP gain for both the vararam and the blackwing. i did not see this listed in the other threads, just that the HP was pretty much the same.
