These are some things, not in any order of importance, that will get the most out of the 99-07 [[Honda VT600CD]] (VLX Shadow second generation) and some might work for the [[Honda VT600C]].

# the "Black Box" If you look on top of the valve cover of the front cylinder, you cant help but se that big black monstrosity. The bad thing about it(it's true purpose is to feed the VLX motor HOT intake air, for EPA reasons, which, of course all racers know, the hotter the intake air, the less HP a motor will make, 1/4 mile racers are even known to pack their intake systems in ICE between 1/4 mile passes to get the best times possible. So, on the rear of the triangular stock air filter housing, there is a band that attaches that box to the filter, undo that band, and remove the black box all together, put a screen of some type over the hole that is left where it attached to the filter, and then your engine will be sucking in cool ambient air from that point on, about a 2 or so HP increase.
