Increasing Air Flow on a 1.0

Hiya all.
Just installed an upgraded exhaust manifold, have 1.3 cams to install and a few other mods to do yet.
I need to increase the air flow into the engine with some type of mod.
I have seen cone type filters with ducting running to the front of the engine, Almera air boxes being added and even a trumpet thingy added to the throttle body as in the Ebbdude thread but really dont
Know which option to go for.

What are your experiences and recommendations??
 
look this up on ebay


3" 76MM CARBON FIBRE UNIVERSAL CAR AIR FILTER BLACK

  • Adds up to 5 to 10 additional horsepower
  • More intense sound under hood
  • 3" 76MM inlet.
  • 5"130mm width x 7" 180mm height
  • 150 quid on there
  • but can be found on ebay for cheaper than that, well worth getting
 
I can't see how it would add 8-10 hp tho as surely it would suffer from heat soak?? A cold air feed would help I suppose?
 
at moment i have it in place of airbox waiting on ally pipe i have orderd to move it to front of car below battery
checked it many times and it dont get hot and also acceleration seems a little more responsive since putting it on
but best thing that makes me laugh is when i put my foot down folk twist their head to see what beast of a car is coming and then they see a micra.
have parked up and folk in chavved up corsa's etc... always ask can they see what engine i have in my little micra
