The engine has to breathe to make POWER. and working on one aspect alone will only make a small improvement. For example, the biggest carbs you can fit will not work effectively if the exhaust will not handle it. In short, you can't get lots of 'air' in if you can't get alot of exhaust out. A free flowing exhaust works noticably better than stock. Go with open air cleaners( mind your jetting though)and set the carbs properly and you have more noticable power. Change the cam lift and duration to more of each(read different cams) and you have even more. The only drawback to this is you may need more compression to make use of a really 'heavy' cam as substantial overlap( the time the intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time) may cause some loss of volumetric efficiency.Anyway, I'm getting technical, sorry.Make it breathe and you'll have a monster on your hands.
