Default Big sucker

I just installed a big sucker air cleaner. It originally had a hyper charger on it. When I took the hyper off it had a rubber hose hooked to it coming from the throttle body. I guess it's some kind of vacuum line. When I give it throttle it sucks harder. Any one know what I need to do with it.

yes, it is the one that made the butterfly flutter. You need to cap it or remove that line. If you are carbed it will effect the mix setting and is leaking air. My wife's Sporty had that and I had to remove a "T" and replace the hose.

For EFI, same kind of issue you have unmetered air coming in. I have EFI and a vacuum leak will lean you out.,

Attach straw and a can of beer. Engines need to relax, too.

Appropriately, it's Japanese beer. Nice.
