I don't know exactly what style knob you're wanting, but B&M makes some cool ones that aren't too expensive. Sometimes just a real leather one looks good too. Ford has those pretty cheap - less than $30. As far as the K&N charger kit goes, there are views on both sides. The open element design allows for more airflow which is good, but you are taking in hotter air from the engine bay (if I am thinking of the right kit) which is bad. So it might be worth a few horsepower. Someone can correct me if i'm wrong but I don't think you would gain much more than just installing the K&N filter and removing the air silencer and save the money towards gears or something. Just my opinion. There are kits out there that aren't much more than the K&N filtercharger kit (MAC has one) that actually place the filter in the fenderwell to draw cooler air - I think people have had better luck with those.
Hope this helps a bit.
