guess it all depends on how big a bag of chips you like!
mine's an 03 midnight. remove the ais, @4200rpm a 1600cc pumps 130cfm. the wimmer stack i got flows 230cfm with the #80 mesh screen. big air flow both in & out makes most of the performance difference. this particular engine/year has a 45Lb crank so she doesnt rev as fast as other R*'s do but she luggs beautifully, and well lets just say i go >35/55/80 hittin the rev limiter in third @ what seems like ~ 5-6 seconds. no problem at all with that, after all mine's pushin ~800Lbs on the scale. rides like a benz.

you will want a heavier clutch spring too, especially if you loose a front tooth or 2. and stiffening the rear gets a better plant at launch.

if your weather is hot an oil cooler might be an alternative part choice. http://www.wimmermachine.com/
