Default Air Cleaner Question

Have a question about Stage 1 vs Stage II. Right now I just have pipes and a tuner but I plan on at least upgrading my cams, maybe more. Will a stage I, like the big sucker or fuel moto cleaner let in enough air for cams and more or do I need a big sucker II? Also, are there other stage II air cleaners beside the bsII?

As I understand it, the Stage 1 AC should flow enough air for a 103 Stage 2.

An earlier thread on the subject:

No matter what Stage you have I to IV your engine will only take in as much air as it needs.
Most all the aftermarket Air Cleaner setups can flow more air then your engine can use.
Most all will work, if you like the Big Sucker, it is as good any other AC out there. It will
work even on any combination of parts you put in or on the engine.

After I posted this I spoke to the guys at Fuel Moto and they said the same. Ordered their air cleaner for my 15 RGS.
