Now that the hot young things are out of my hottub and out of the house I can catch up on some reading...

K&N's are made out of cotton gauze. I've found the washing machine does a much better job than that goofy spritz bottle.

Just make sure not to go berserk with the oil. Since the filter is upstream of the MAF you want to coat the wires with oil. I don't think the new style LS1/LT1 filters are affected as much as the stock style though.


hahahahha, I just realized that your MAF has seen some action from two of the one's that just left!

since it's made of cotton, pretend you're washing cotton :)

So the oil isn't mandatory or it is?

I checked the base FP line off, and it was set at about 41 or so, so i increased it to what I believe to be 43 psi. The settings on the MAF translator were the way they should have been.  I ended up adjusting them to Steve's suggestions.  I did a few WOT pulls 1st-2nd gear.  the numbers are really consistent. Im in the process of posting a video.  I did a short WOT pull in 3rd on the highway and the O2's read at 792 with no knock.  I think im almost getting there.
