90 F-150 4.9litre - Tow Vehicle How do I....

[Maroon 5.0 LX]

rbatson - Last November, I drove to Fla in my van. On the trip down, just about a 1,000 miles, the Motorcraft paper filter was used. On the way back, I put the K&N filter in.

There was NO noticable increase in power, and less than .010 MPG increase in gas milage.

This is using just the filter element, not the cold air conversion kit. Now, I understand the induction conversion makes a big difference, but in my situation, the K&N filter element alone doesn't do squat.... I haven't seen a conversion kit available for the van, else I'd put one on.

I'm not looking to make a dragster out of my van, just wanted to see if I could increase the 14 mpg figure a little. At this rate, I will have to drive 100,000 miles to make it pay for itself. LOL
