I appreciate the apology, let's chalk it up to the internet. I apologize for responding like an a-hole...lol.
I really couldn't do anything with the stock intake duct work...I tried, not even close...well it did not seal behind the MAF and ran a little funky...so to avoid taping it up, I just picked up that filter as a "get-me-by" until I can afford a CAI...everybody has a very strong opinion on K&N's one way or the other...and there are a million "scientific" tests to prove them good or bad. I know I've used them for over 5yrs...the same filter in fact...two engines were pulled apart(one crank failure, one part out) and never once did I see any evidence of debris making it past the filter.
I do plan on having it tuned, once I replace the intake with a unit that flows SIGNIFICANTLY better and after losing the tailpipes...basically after I can get a good, solid, total combination. I still have quite a bit of work ahead of me.
BTW, it's got enough balls to dog an '08 VW GTi...he had a bit of a run on me and I had already shifted to 2nd...lugged it from 2k rpm and slowly walked him...those things are solid 14.7-14.8 cars...it's a good start I suppose.
