This reminded me that I wanted to post about my experience with
my new K&N FilterCharger.

I installed it about 10 days ago in my '89 100Q. It needed a new
filter anyway, and I thought "why not?"

To keep it short, I was, and am, impressed. The breathing is much
better than it ever has been. Winding it up to 6000 RPM at full
throttle works fine, even on regular fuel. I think pick-up is a
little improved, and the car just feels better to the seat of my
pants. I don't have enough data yet to report on gas mileage.

So, if anyone is considering a K&N, go for it. I have to order
one for Angela's 90 20V now....
