why not try for your self and let the forum know the results,
have you tried modded stock airbox with a panel filter and cold air feed

Doesnt work like that with RR's you can only compare figures from the same place really, one place could be more/less accurate, could have ran in a different gear, theres too many factors to say why one result could be so much higher than another.
