you want to go with pod filters?
true Uni foam are far better but its going to be a tuning nightmare....
something minor called intake velocity is greatly affected with a super short intake and turbulant air in the carbs an makes metering the fuel far less efficient...
I have tuned bikes before with these set ups but I usually end up buying several different needles, pilot and main jets before i'm even at least a little happy with it.
I would recommend velocity stacks to help straiten the airflow before the carbs for much easier tuning
better yet just stick with the stock set up... your not going to gain much by going with pods98 GSX750F

I know ill get a beat down for this, but after finally getting my bike straight I prefer the K&N pod filters. I have the same set up, Vance and Hines, and Stage 1 jet kit. I put the stock air box on with a uni-filter, and a stock filter and with K&N pods. I prefer the pods becuase I think they give a quicker throttle response but they do need a little bit more tweaking for 1-3k rpm running right.... Just my opinion, I know others will disagree.Originally posted by arsenic93 octane fuel and K&N pod filters rock.

Arsenic is like a prize boxer with his hands tied behind his back in a match on this topic...
Anyways... I've used pods for the last 10 years... stock jetting, stage 3, and stage 1.
4 different shops, 15 mechanics, multiple tunings with/at each.
It's never been "right". It's been close, it's close now. I can tell it's not at it's full potential.
I'm in the process of reverting back to the stock airbox. I'm tired of fighting it. There just isn't any gain from using something different than stock airbox that I have been able to find...

I have been using a uni filter on my Kat for 5 years now and have had no carb or tuning problems yet..

My bike hated the Uni filter, always had a flat spot from 6000-7000rpm no matter what I did with it.90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.
