When I go to the racetrack with a car that has a similar setup, all I do is remove the air filter and block or disable any hot air ports to the factory box. Works fine and looks 10 times better in most cases.

In general, it's not so much the factory airbox that is restrictive, but the lack of cold air being supplied to the airbox. Or the location is in a heat soak area. Factory paper elements are restrictive. The reason the factorys in general don't make CAI intakes are really two fold. 1. They have to comply with Federal noise standards. 2. They have issues with idiots hydrolocking the engines under warranty. Chew on that.
