tons of posts on this, I recommend you search for those. Only con to do it is you have to introduce a flame arresting air filter to be legal. The advantages are mostly when you boat at higher altitude.

Or you live in Florida where heat soak is an issue. I did it to mine. Worked great! RPMs jumped to 7700 and stayed there. Awesome hole shots.

so basically it improves hole shot and no negatives really? I’m in Florida as well.
