The issue caused by the air cleaner is it's too small (short) and will affect the airflow into the carb; air doesn't like 90 degree bends and that air cleaner will cause the air to make a 90 into the carb. The other hoses can be eliminated easily. Any time you add more airflow you need more fuel; the ported head, the open air cleaner, free flow exhaust, are more than a stock jetted carb can work with and it will lean out the motor, causing loss of power and engine damage.

Ahh i see, so because of my current set up, i need a better carb to compensate for the affects of the air cleaner, the ported intake, etc. I wonder if thats why i cant seem to get the fuel to air ratio mixed right with the adjuster screw. Dam should I put the stock air cleaner back on till I can afford a better carb? You say use a weber 32/36 rejetted, is there a certain type of rejetting? I dont know shit about carbs, so hopefully thats not a retarded question. Oh and the height of the new air cleaner is actually slightly taller than factory.

is the 32/36 the same as the Weber 5200? or is the 32/36 better for what i need?
