why exactly do you need a 3" intake on a n/a engine?

Crower 2 + Race PnP head + a few other high flow mods and ports equals a regular 2.5 inch intake is too small. Im seeing Vacuum while WOT at certain RPM ranges, and you could actually hear the intake choking the engine, a noise which is gone with this intake.

Im about to try an OBX when that gets here too. I need more air...

That is probably going to hurt you, from poor QC and R&D.

Eleventy-billion. Seriously though, it is an irrelevant question. If anything it is a supporting mod to allow an already-heavy-breather get a bit more.

This is the OBX from MB, he gave it a good workover, and ported the TB opening to 60mm.

Bingo. Can't put a number on the additional horsepower. Dependant on set-up. As well as the additional horsepower may not even be a max difference as much as a power curve difference. Allowing more air to move at the top end, thus extending the curve.

If you NA is built enough to make power on a 60mm+ TB, then you shouldn't run any piping smaller than the width of your TB.
