I say if the dyno guy says to keep the airbox, keep the thing.

I've seen some of the dyno charts from racers with airboxes, and they are impressive. Remember that the airbox is intended to keep a large volume of air to deliver smooth incoming air. It also is tuned to deliver resonances through the intake at a designated rpm that boost power.

As for removing the snorkel, post #100 by Kerry from Area P in the thread about the exhaust for the 300 was warning about removing the snorkel without adjusting the fueling. Of course that will produce less power.

Take the snorkel out, put in a high flow drop-in filter, and let the dyno guy have at it. I'm sure you'll get satisfactory results once he's done doing his thing on the dyno.
