It will have more top end than stock, But will rarely hit the stock rev limiter unless its WOT on the street for a long time.
Now if your like me and can`t leave well enough alone. You add high flow filter, rev box, and a pipe. Spend hours jetting it and now you have bike with a little more topend and very little bottom end compared to what you started out with. hhhmm must need a bigger carb to compensate for all that air flow. Ok 20mm carb is on. The bike bogs and hesitates like a **** then pulls unbelievably hard on the topend. That bog must be from the fact that I`m trying to force all this gas and air through an intake port in the cylinder head the size of my pinky finger. Add a highflow cylinder head and the bike runs clean again. No bogs and tons of power throughout the entire rpm range.
The moral of the story is all of your aftermarket parts must work together to have smooth running engine. Don`t try and compensate. If you going to make part of the engine highflow, make the whole thing highflow. This is just based on my own experiance, But I would save $200 and buy the kitaco light bore over the takegawa s-stage. Then when I was ready to double the power again get a cylinder head and a carb that is bigger than the one that comes with the s-stage.
