Post Power for the HD!

Well I've been looking at all the power options for the HD and I'm pretty sure about getting the Superchip, K&N FIPK, Poweraid throttle body spacer, and possibly power pulleys. Does anyone have any suggestions on any other fairly cheap methods of gaining power?

Most people say the PowerAid spacer is a waste of money and it makes a loud whistling noise. The other mods are great though

conciter the velocity tube by WMS instead of the k&n the velocity tube takes out the restrictions but uses the factory airbox and gets cold air from the vender via a new larger tube. i think it will get better power because of the colder air. plus it is cheaper. hust my 2 cents

Throttle Spacer = Bad Medicine unless you run your engine over 5000rpm (No --- Bad!!) You will actually LOSE ponies in the lesser rpm's, don't ask me why, just does.

I have the throttle body spacer & I'm going to remove it asap. But kind of like the whistle sound but it seems like it decreases hp, but adds torque.
Have you thought of a supercharger?
I would look in on it.

Steve, where do you get the WMS velocity tube? I haven't heard of them?
