ya i was wondering this too, i bought one for mine and i was wondering how much more it would add to mine too.. same size engine
Aprox. 10hp or less on a stock engine. K&N claims as much as 20hp, or 20% increase. But I haven't yet seen anyone make more than 10hp on a 3.1 with K&N
ok, thanks.

That seems 'bout right. Only on slightly modified engines in good shape, have I seen more HP gains, but not verry much. The main reason why I bought mine was for increased air flow and the ability to re-use the filter

*slap*

don't do that again...

Remember: that sticker nets you like 50hp! :lol:
*ouch!* ok about the horespower, but why did you *slap* me???

Adam
you got slapped cause you posted about your post count...thats a :nono: If I did that evertime I got to a certain point there would be a lot of post posts :-?
Ohhh.... ok, sorry. I was just happy that I hit addicted member... I won't do it again....

Adam
actually i always figured it did two things, 2-3 horses and better throttle response. If your old filter was really dirty then it was robbing your car of horsepower, so it would give you that back and maybe a horse or two.
