i can imagine with the trumpets in place you could expect the incoming air to be sucked in in a nice laminar fashion .. but with the top hacked off??

Once the air has been drawn into the air box from the previouse induction cycle the air will be still (still as in not swirling around the airbox) this allows maximum induction suction on the next induction cycle.
The stiller the air, the larger amount can be drawn in, the more air the better the fuel air mix and the bigger the bang
