The question becomes if the intake restriction creates vacuum at the area just behind the throttle body when at WOT. If so, then a larger air filter is warranted, if not....well not so much.
No where in my post did I say an internal combustion engine is the same as a vacuum cleaner. The point was the principle of doing a lot of work just to suck the air into the plenum vs not working as hard to do the same. The HP difference is what you use to do the suctioning, or divert to the wheels.

I hope that clarifies it a little?
