I'm thinking of installing either a Screaming Eagle Air Kit or an Arlen Ness Big Sucker (2013 EGlide).
Respectfully, I'd like to NOT hear about changing pipes, cams, jugs, pistons, fuel management systems (all or some of that may come later).
I would like your opinion as to:
a) will there be any increase in low end torque as a result of installing only an air kit, and
b) will the engine run cooler as a result of the increase in air into the engine, and
c) will the introduction of increased air have any negative effect (increase in lean AFR, etc) since the pipes would remain stock, and
d) any other pro or con comments on just doing this change.
