Default fuel pack

Now that I got my fuel pack I'm reading the inst. and it states that all the configurations work only with a high performance filter. I wana do a sick filter setup but with money being tight I just can't do it right now. What do they mean by high performance?? Can I just buy a k&n for now? What are my options.

i did the stage one with the v&h sideshots, the fuel pak and the screamin eagle air cleaner.
bike runs great, love the performance and has great sound. more horse power with the sideshots. the air cleaner if i remember right cost around $180-$190 maybe little less.

I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong, but if i hear you correctly, you put a fuel pack on your bike and nothing else... that to me equals a rich burn and nothing but fouled plugs to worry about for the time being... next is the tune...

Stage 1 consists of basically 3 changes. You have 2 of them, the remaining is a High Flow A/C. A/C in this case is really short for "air cleaner system" not "air filter", though a good filter like the K&N is often part of the high flow A/C assembly. There are people here that have modified the stock A/C can to make it a "high flow" unit and then installed the K&N filter.

I believe ****** here is one of them. If he doesn't chime in here try sending him a PM for details on what he did.

I had the exact same question when I installed the FuelpAKwith Straightshot slip ons so I called the factory and spoke to an engineer. He told me I would be fine with just a K&N filter. Got one from American Classics for around 50 bucks I believe. Bike runs great and no evidence of plug fouling after 500+ miles.

That said, a complete intake system change as people are talking about here would be better but just the element change is "sufficient."
