Some good questions Farfrumgerman. Here goes!
> when were the runs done? Were the 2 sets of runs done on the same strech of road?
They were both done about 2 hours apart on the same stretch of road.
> did you do a ECU reset after doin the snorketomy?
Yes, however, it was right before the second set of runs, so I do want to wait a while and re do them after the ECU is completely re-acquainted with the engine.
> did you also remove the neck-down gasket located between the airbox and wheelwell?
Not yet, because I planned to do the test in steps as you stated also. I actually first wanted to compare the stock paper filter to the k&n drop in, but I remembered that after I took out the silencer.
I will definitely keep everyone posted about any further info.
