CFM airbox on a wolvey
I decided to revive this old thread instead of starting a new one.
I just installed a CFM airbox on my bike. I went with a UNI clamp on filter. It is a well made product. It bolted up with no problems and the stock hose and intake fit perfect. I did have to rotate the intake on the carb. Like SpdDemon said it gives a huge air flow increase even with the lid in place. I'm going to have to re-jet my bike to get in running right. (I can feel some increase in power with the stock jetting but it is definitely running lean) I'll post an update after I get the carb dialed in.

I spoke with a CFM rep today concerning jetting. He did not think a jetting change was necessary if the airbox was your only mod. I have my baffle removed but that is it (other than a torque stuffer). It runs noticeable better with the airbox mod but it is running a bit lean. I richened up the pilot screw on my bike today. Until then it was not starting as easy as it did with the stock box. The pilot screw adjustment fixed that problem. I bought 3 main jets to try and dial it in. I have not had a chance to do this yet.
The CFM rep told me about a test they did with a wolverine and their airbox. They took 2 bone stock wolverines and put the airbox on one of them. They did not re-jet it. They raced the two bike 100yds. The wolverine with the CFM box beat the stock wolverine by 3 to 5 bike lengths. That's pretty impressive! I don't doubt it either judging from the feel of my bike.
I'll post a follow up when I get the main jet changed.

I went with a 145 main jet. I left the needle position stock and kept the stock pilot jet. I am about 2 turns out on the pilot screw. It runs great. I'll do a plug chop test to see what the plug thinks but I'm betting it is close. It gave a nice increase in power. There are no flat spots and no adverse affects at any throttle position.
I think the bleed over from the main jet gives just enough gas to balance out the mid range. The adjustment to the pilot screw did the trick on the bottom end.
Now I just need to find someone with a stock wolverine to see how much the mods helped.
