Ironically, with an SV you can jack up the tank to allow more fresh air in and effectively increase the airbox volume as the tank forms part of the seal to the air filter. This is a well-known mod that gives serious power increases in the mid-range and a few more at the top end. This is permissible under the existing rules.

Wait a cotton-picking minute - doesnt that constitute modifying the airbox - its called lifting the airbox lid in my book !
That kind of thing could be tried - lift the tank an inch and then lift the airbox lid to butt up against it.
Given that the airbox lid has such a puny hole as std, an inch gap all across the front alone would be about 4 times the area.
