So last night I added the Knock PID for the Torque app and went out and made some pulls....The highest reading I got at WOT the +2.0, but majority of the time it stayed at 0. I even saw a -1.0.

It was raining last night so I didn't get any real good 0-60 tries....Maybe tonight.

I will say one thing thought.....I'm still a bit confused as to why everyone thinks the K&N hurts performance? I was monitoring the Ambient Temp and it hovered around 78. Under normal driving condition's I never saw the IAT drop more them a few degrees, but when under WOT, I saw and average of 20-30 degree difference. During one pull, I noticed it go to with in a 5 degree's of the Ambient. Thoughts?

So from what I read on that link, the stock air box with K&N drop in filter performed better than the other intakes.... right?

Exactly, and from what I have found since then the stock filter has no restriction over the K&N panel filter in the stock box. I am now working with the Airaid intake, and I have been having promising results with that.
