Re: [DML] Upgrading the Air Filter?

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I first-hand witnessed a dyno test where the owner swapped between 
stock and the K&N filter. On a turbo car (which you would expect to 
be even more sensitive to this sort of thing) the improvement was in 
the neighborhood of one HP. 

I have never understood how changing the intake/filter could have any 
impact at less than Wide open throttle. At anything less than that, 
the throttle itself is the restriction, and you can vary that. How 
often to you-all drive around with your foot on the floor?
