The airboxes that are usually high up is because they try to get the best most linear airflow as possible, not because they will get more pressure. If they want more pressure the best place is right at the front and as near to the place where the bumper/wing etc sticks out in front the most, this is where you get a high pressure stagnation point.
As i said it only gives a slight increase in power on big revvy engines at high speeds NOT on small engined road cars.

this why they do not have ram airbox at the front of a f1 car
The front wing accounts for approximately 33% of the total car downforce. The front wing end plates reduce drag and also direct air over the front wheels in an attempt to reduce drag. The front wing is shaped to direct air to the underside of the car and ultimately feed the undertray (described later). Shaping is also employed to allow air to cool the brakes and radiators. The front wing is a compromise between producing downforce and directing air to other areas of the car.

that doesn't explain way the airbox isn't at the front, that describes how a wing works . yes it does describe how the front wing works and for the reason airbox entrance is not put there,
I'm going to hazard a guess, the airbox is near the engine because it is nearer the engine, which means you don't have to have a pipe going from the front to the back. People have tried this though, I wonder why they didn't use it though

look below sand eel

The engine air intake is positioned behind and above the driver's head to capture high-pressure, relatively undisturbed air. Inside the air intake is an expansion chamber (diffuser) that slows the air down and thus increases its pressure ready for its passage into the engine inlet manifold. The air intake is positioned away from sources of heat, such as the track and radiators, to minimize the air temperature. The intake faces the direction of travel to take advantage of

AAAAAAAAAH
I KNOW I KNOW, YES RAM AIR DOES EXIST I'M NOT SAYING IT DOESN'T, WHAT I'AM SAYING IS IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON SLOW SMALL ENGINED ROAD CARS, FOR THE LAST BLOODY TIME.

power gauge

That is for a road car yes, with very restrictive airboxs for fuel economy and low noise and a honda civic revs very high so it might make 13bhp yes.
I don't know why you posted that link TBH

It's all psychological, you make something that you think makes it better so your brain will think it does work better because you want it to.

you really do need a rolling road printout, if you want to prove yourself.

Because he's an idiot.

20valver, we don't care about your metro or what it allegedly said on the speedo, we really don't. Just leave this thread and never come back. PLEASE. I BEG OF YOU.

instead of drilling holes in your airbox why don't you cut the bottom half of the airbox off below the air filter

You are a member at this forum (unfortunately) so by your logic you are always right, along with the rest of us.

How do you comment on this revelation?
