Will changing out the stock air filter and changing it for a UNI or K&N filter give it a LITTLE more power? Whats yor favriote Filter?
And wil you need to rejet when only changing the Air filter?

Thanks AGAIN

No, you won't notice any more power.

No, you won't have to rejet.

I would say K&N is most popular. Maybe 60% K&N, 30% Uni. Just guessing on the %'s.

But since cleaning the stock filter is a pain, getting the K&N is kind of nice. Also, if you get the dyno jet kit, that will give you a little throttle response.

That only happens with people that don't use get an outwears. That filters out the little stuff. You won't go wrong with a K&N if you clean it regularly and make sure it is installed properly.
