BMC Street or Race

I was getting ready to buy a BMC filter but was asked if I want the Street or Race version? I do not have a modified airbox. I do have a PCII but took it off as I still have the OEM pipes (for now). I didn't feel any appreciable difference with it on but the gas mileage went to hell.

What's the difference between the Street / Race versions of this filter? Frank, you tend to give solid recommendations. What's your opinion on this? I don't plan to drag race but would like to make all the simple mods I can to the bike to give it a little extra kick.

I performed a search but found no hits on this question.

God, I love the busa.
 
I could only guess that the race version flows more air?

That means the bike should run better with a less restricted air flow.

You may at least have to richen the low end up with either BMC filter.

I personally have done no testing with these filters. So I couldn't really say if they're worth buying or not? sorry!
 
buy the steet one told the race is made mostly for drag racing, run at the track the race one will work . but the street one will filter the dirt better.have a street one on order. good luck
 
Thanks guys! I did some more checking and learned that with the race version one has to tweek the PCII to get the most benefit. Looks like the street version will be my pick.
 
i havent seen anything.i kinda 86ed the whole idea the way its is set up.if your stock one is trashed i got some stock ones you can have but i would not spend the money if power is what your buying it for
 
BB,
The BMC made 3 more hp on my busa. Same dyno back to back pulls. Just my two cents worth. Yosh has shipped our filters on Tuesday last week. I should have 10 in the store on Wed or Thurs of this week. I'll let you know...
Ride safe,

watch for temp from pull to pull.6hp for $125 has it beat by a mile.not to mention once your moving how much the spread between the 2 will grow.
 
Is the BMC a better filter over, say, the K&N filter? I've not touched my '99, but have contemplated replacing the filter with a K&N unit. Any suggestions?
 
To Motorheads credit he did my airbox mod and gained 6hp on the dyno. This was 6hp above and beyond my small box mod and my BMC filter which I had already done! Not to mention the bike is smoother and has more power accross the whole RPM range...
 
Motorhead,
The pulls were made at Lees Performance in Charlotte, NC. My bike made 172 without and 175 with. Lees stage II kit is on my bike. The kit was already installed before I got my filter or I would have had Lee do a pull on my bike with just a pipe and remap.
