For performance, the clamp-on will benefit you more than a drop in. As you may already know, the stock airbox on these Preds are a JOKE! When I did have a drop-in, I couldn't get the thing to seal. So, I chucked the airbox and added a clamp-on. Little bit more power, overall. Jetting was a little bit of a pain but, once jetted, it ran great.

Only thing to remember with a clamp on is that it is out in the open, obviously, so extra care needs to be give in keeping it dry.

I no longer run a clamp-on and opted for the CFM airbox with twin K&N filters. Flows more than a clamp on and is a bit easier to jet.

CFM flows considerably more than a simple airbox...I'd start @ 175 MJ, 50 PJ, and needle in stock position.

Then go from there....
