Benefits of Stage 1 on 2007 softail

Apart from the volume... How much does one really get from a Stage 1 upgrade of air filter, pipes, and fuel management on a 2007 Softail? I'm hearing mixed things, anything from lots to not a lot, and an agreement a lot less than with some older engines.

Anyone?

Yep, stage one to mine and did a dyno run on it. 92 HP and 112 torque, not bad for a stage one.

Throttle response would be where you'll notice the biggest difference, it does wake em up.
