I have ridden motorcycles most of my adult life. Most newer motorcycles come into this country with restricted air intakes and exhausts and numerous "SMOG" reducing devices to meet the EPA emission standards. The first thing most people do to those motorcycles is to open up the airbox and exhaust and remove those pesky devices. This allows the motor to breath a bit better and gives a few horsepower increase. Motorcycle people call this uncorking. I am not saying I want to do this to my new Branson, but it this something that people do to tractors? Is it something that would help? I know these brands that have multiple HP tractors of the same type just use the same engine and add performance upgrades to up the HP. I was just thinking about that the other day and I thought I would ask the experts. A search of "uncorking a tractor" came up empty, so here I am.
