08 superjet with riva stage one for sale

Looking at an 08 superjet this weekend. Guy states it has a riva stage one done by previous owner. Looks like an 07 stage one is what he is linking me. To me it's all engine work and ride plate/intake/impelle.I would think this thing would rip. Other than the stage 1 it's stock. 5500. Thoughts

most everything included in the riva kit is not directed at freestyle/freeride but more so running buoys. you will get more top end and better pick up, but there is much better alternatives.

Other than a impeller I don't see the difference. Dude wants 4500 now. It's got the brap just needs proper impeller footholds and some steering and I feel it's there. What am I missing.

Or is the +08 superjet really not setup for freestyle. Done a lot of reading and guys complain about the steering. And call it more for carving and buoys rather than freestyle. I'm coming from my fx-1 which is light and nimble which I love
