Come to Wisconsin during the summer and you'll need an air filter for the mosquitoes, and the rest of the bugs.

sorry... cant just rip off your AC and get free performance.....

you cant have the carb stick into the wind sideways, at speed it creates frequency oscilations with the wind and it takes away more power than stock. V-stacks only work if facing into oncoming wind, and only if they are tuned just right.

plus, you need a big airbox to pressurize at speed, like a natural turbo. no performance without a device like this, this is truley free power (besides getting a REAL turbo and upgrading cams and bore and stuff like that)

Grandpa told me about rubbers... Now he has great-grandchildren.

Okay, jk.

Seriously, though - no air filter? On a motor that has about a quarter of the life of a car engine and costs twice as much to rebuild?
