If you do any kind of tinkering, you should fill the back of the bottom tube. All that air in the back end is just going to be stagnant like the silencer in the stock air filter tube. Perhaps try filling it with epoxy or something, that might bring some decent results in. 
EDIT:
Like this, I guess just stand it up on the back and poor in the epoxy till it fills up to the ridge.

I should have mentioned it earlier. Take a look at that top pic. When you look into the flow hole from the top, you'll see a small round hole. That area is a wall between the back end of the air chamber and the spot where air is flowing up; basically the same spot you said to fill the epoxy with. It is a concave wall so air will flow smoothly up it.

are you running a truck intake? is there an adapter for the injectors if you switch to a ls1/ls6 intake from the truck one.

I wonder how nitrous and fuel flow through that thing....which runners would get more or less
You'd think the middle runners would get more air but then you think about all that air being 'rammed up' by that convex part and forced against the top in there and maybe the air gets forced to the outer runners more so than the middle. But then again all of them are sucking the air so I dont know..... just thinking out loud

I still think it would benefit a little more epoxy in there. Just to make sure no air is stuck there. Worth a shot anyway. I wish there was a way to get in there without cutting it up. I would greatly like to take that rolled ege on the intake hole and smooth it down.
