Also is there any one out there who has the same car as me that i could private msg a few questions too, so i dont make my self look like a complete idiot in front of every one?
The S&B powerstack filter we use on the Zetec kit has proven in the past to gain more HP over a similar sized K&N. In previous tests on a V6 5 speed Cougar, its baseline hp was 136hp at the wheels with the stock air box with paper filter. We then added a filter adapter and installed a 7 inch K&N, which then produced 138hp at the wheels. We did a thrid test, using the same S&B powerstack filter in our Zetec kits, and came out with 141hp at the wheels. Granted, this was a Duratec, but the main thing is the gains. The S&B proved to be better than the K&N during this test and that is one of the reasons we stayed with S&B filters.
