Air cleaners
#11
Like djl said it's the filter that matters. Just about any air cleaner housing is going to flow more air than any twin cam build can use with the right filter inside of it. K&N and Green are the top performing filters as far as I know.
That said, I stay away from SE anything. over priced and generally EPA compliant which is NOT conducive to performance.

Pick the one you like to look at best. You’re not noticing the gain an AC is going to give no matter what. The Ventilator breathes just fine. I have one on my stage 1 and the same on my Stage 2. When talking to a fuel Moto I asked if I needed a better AC for my Stage 2. They said no. The Ventilator was more than good enough.
Beware of the Kool Aid crowd. If you’re not going big bore most everything other than stock is fine. And your *** isn’t noticing 3hp.

Depends very much on the engine configuration; more specifically what the engine wants/needs. Stock engines are not too picky, however as engine output increases the ceiling on the peripherals (exhaust, air cleaner, etc.) increases as well.
See the dyno chart below; a back to back test of our BMF element for the H-D Ventilator air cleaner we did 7 minutes apart on a 124" big bore M8 engine. The standard filter is simply too small for this application, the larger element on the same air cleaner picked up +6 horsepower +6 torque. While this would not be the same on a stock engine this example shows the importance as power levels increase.
