Hi Smakbiam ...
I see you've found your way here from the DML.
"Crappy"? Well, all things are relative, yes? Given what you claimed to know, er have heard, on the DML, you should also have heard that the intake ports are more crappy than the long intake runners. And then deduced that one would really need to do something about that as well when addressing the long intake manifolds.
BUT ... that costs $,$$$. Most folks only like to spend $$$ at a time. Few people have the opportunity (or stupidity? -- like me) to go all out on a bike or its engine.
To do things well requires a systemic approach. And then it all starts adding up in price. Luckily, there are a few "simple" items which bolt on and produce great results. I personally think that the FCRs are the most cost effective. I won't say that high comp pistons or 944 kits don't wake up a bike, but I think they aren't as effective (or easy) as FCRs.
