Default K&N intake kit....me likes!!

so I finally got around to installing the K&N intake kit, I'm impressed!! I've always had a K&N kit on all my cars but never noticed gains like this. I always get gas when the low fuel light comes on and I get $20. Once it gets back down to 3 gallons and the low fuel light comes back on I get another $20...you get the Idea. Every time the light comes on I am around 84-87 miles on my trip odometer. Now with the k&N kit I am consistantly around 101-104 when he light comes on. wahoo...I'm back over 10 MPG!!!!

This may be a tough question to answer, but does your H3 feel stronger/faster than other H3s?

My impression is "More responsive"...I suppose that means some more power from somewhere..

Chevy..Let me axe you this..

Tonight while I was sitting in line at a drive through in neutral and idling...I noticed that all of a sudden I would get this sort of dips in RPM and or a hesitation, but every so often, it would dip and hesitate then back to normal for a few seconds and do it again and again...It ran fine when I gassed it or stompted it or put it into D...When I got home and put it in Park, same thing again...I went under the hood to see or hear anything strange and I noticed my K&N Air filter had fallen off the neck piece..As soon as I put it back on the rough idle if you will, settled down and idled smoothly as always...I continued to monitor it for a few more minutes and no problems again..I took the air filter back off and the problem reappear slightly, but not as much....

Any Ideas?

I figure it maybe a MAF thing trying to readjust for the more air it's getting or since the filter was off, a turbulence was happening around the MAF and not reading the air flow right.
