| If it is any help, i had the standard side air filters, mesh and air tube restrictors removed and an itg filter installed when i bought my 996 bip.
Big improvement.
Air filter costs about £75.
'not sure if Alf did any tweaking to adjust, but he has been racing ducati for years and reckons this is the way to go.
The itg filter flows bags more air and i believe is re-useable too.
Open it up and it sounds like you're going to get sucked into the airbox!
Cheap and effective modification.
Get the bike set up, then get some road training, cos a trained rider on a 400 would run the wheels off the average bloke on his superbike.
I have done a few of the H*n*a MAC courses.
These are run by ex-police riders and are brilliant. Real riding techniques on real roadsand you don't have to ride a rice burner.
You have never seen a Pan-european go so fast!!
These boys are not stick-to-the-limits riders by any means, except in towns etc.
Not cheap, but the best never is.
Hope this helps.
