Yeah maybe for a drag race it helps a little but for everyday driven it hurts a lot or do you redline your car every time you use your car? So get the intake and put it on for a drag race and then put the stock one on for every day driving. As Zappa said for us regular folks who wear tennis shoes and occasionally python boots the stock intake is a better choice. And did I mention that k&n is not a good filter as far as dirt is concerned?
