the computer will compensate for the increase air flow so there really wont be anything noticeable i personally hate k&ns because people over oil them and ruin the mass flow air sensor

Re: K&N filter kit increas mpg???
is there anything I can do to up the mpgs, mileage is not terrible with the 6 speed, but around town I am pushing 13.7, not a big deal, got a new job and a nice big raise and get paid mileage, so the cost is covered, just really want to do something to the truck
