Default How much gooder will and FP3 and stage 1 intake do me

Just wanting to know how much better will it be if I added a stage 1 air breather and FP3 will do along with my V&H Round Slip ons.

Much gooder as your bike will run much cooler than the stock much leaner settings.

Lots of good reports regarding the FP3 on the forums but there is zip to be gained by changing your air cleaner.
Does Fuel Moto still have the highly acclaimed Power Vision on sale because it isn't that much more than an FP3 and then if you decide you don't pass 18 wheelers quick enough and mod the engine, the PV will tune it better than the entry level FP3.

The FP3 has the ability to tune for any mod you can make to your engine including gear ratio changes, Big Bores and so on. V&H has great customer service in case you have any issues.

Not gonna' do much gooder if you don't get rid of the cat in the bikes header. That's the bottleneck in the entire engine system. You'll just be throwing money down the highway. You can try to suck in all the air in the world into the engine and then you can try to blow it all out of the exhaust but it ain't gonna happen with that cat stuck right in the middle of it all!

There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that will get you, proportionally, a bigger increase in HP/$, than putting on a free flowing air cleaner, a freer flowing, cat-free exhaust system, and a professional dyno tune from somebody who knows what he's doing.

Nothing.

Second best: a freer flowing air cleaner, a freer flowing cat-free exhaust system, and a retune with a quality tuner module, done by somebody who read the instructions and can figure out what he's doing.

If the second one is you, go for it.

I think the proper use is "MORE gooder." Not just plain gooder. What's wrong with you people? Didn't nobody take English is skool?

Sorry sir but proper engrish is "Mo Better-er" or "Bestist" in this situation.
