Default WHICH ONE????
I'm ready for a stage 1. I'm trying to decide, read all of the threads to do with stage one and wanted your HFO.
Should I go with the:

RK 3909 or the AN Big Sucker and WHY?

Thanks for all your help!

I have had both, I prefer the K&N to the AN... it's much better built, the backing plate on the K&N is billet alum. and the AN is some type of cast potmetal alloy, they crack at the mounting holes to the TB or carb.
K&N will also warrant the entire thing for 1 million miles....
