Default Intake Concern

Have an 07 FXSTC with V & H big shots staggered and want to add a high performance intake. Like th Ness Stage 2 billet sucker but am hearing it's meant more for engines with cams, etc and a stage 1 is better for just pipes. Comments?

I would say it's a little AN marketing. High flow is high flow no matter what you call it.

So there's no such thing as "too much air"? Thought I might run into problems when trying to tune.

Too much air might happen with a compressor, but with a filter, No, it can't get too much air. Any high flow filter will do just fine.
