From what I read, the plate filter + plenum helps to up the power in the midrange. You get better low engine speed velocity than with filters...which equals better response and power. It definately helps with smaller motors

If nothing else, the airbox should provide all 4 carbs with equal/same temp air - that will help when jetting the bike correctly.

Even if ya go with some nice flat slides, I'd prolly recommend gettin the airbox adaptors to run the airbox.

Call Sudco or Mike Velasco - lotsa experience there.
