What Norty said...you have to be smart about what you want in the end...just throwing parts on it and hoping it works is an expensive gamble...
if if you have a pipe, next logical step is a high flow air cleaner...DK Customs has some excellent ones...then a full tune of your ECM...you should have it tuned to run properly

I enjoy JUMPING off the line, out of the hole. Like to get every hp out of the 103ci. Thinking air is my next step, want to change it once. In your opinion which one should I install?

If you're going to install an intake, do it at the same time you get a tuner. Without a good tune, you'll be running very lean with just pipes and intake. The tuner will let you get the most power out of your setup, and not have the bike run too hot. As for an intake, I got rid of my Big Sucker and went with one from DK Customs that will vent to atmosphere.

Here is what I did.
I discovered that you have to choose where you want to be, assemble and install that combination then get the bike tuned for it.'
I went from stock to a fuel moto e series 2 into 1 exhaust, a set of woods cams designed for low end torque and a K&N filter to let it inhale.
My torque should come on at about 100 ft pounds at about 2800 rpms and sit flat to about 4800 or so which is where I shift it.
Keeps the torque up and the rpms down.
You can make smaller incremental steps. But ultimately the cams in conjunction with a well considered intake and a complementary exhaust will get you the torque you seek.
Let us know what you do.
