Default SE. Heavy Breather Vs Hypercharger

Ok it is time to upgrade my stock air breather before summer gets here. I like the looks of the Hypercharger, but I know how the Heavy Breather works. Anybody with a Hypercharger have any comments here? Or anybody that knows anything about it?
Wich one works best?

I've posted a letter that I received from Kuryakyn twice so far if you wanna do a search.
On a stage1 engine, I would go with the Heavy Breather, instead of the Hypercharger. IMO, the Hypercharger is more show than go.

Thanks Ngot. I probably should have searched before I posted this thread.

What does the hypercharger not do? Does is not get enough air?
PS. I did the search and didn't find anything.

I have heard that at normal cruising the Hypercharger actually pulls air out of the back of the body of it causing a lean condition.

The Hypercharger is a gimmick and i think its fugley !
The butterflys dont work on a CV carb.

For the best bang for the buck maybe look at a Hurricane flow from NRHS.
