The K&N kit for 98-02 LS-1's is junk..
It's main problem is that it doesnt isolate the engine bay temps from the incoming air and the Intake Air Temp sensor..
So your I.A.T. sensor is or will be reading a hotter air temp..
An air lid set-up or the Volant type of kits for LS1 Ram air hood cars that actually seals to the hood would be more effecient..
Both types of kits will seal off the I.A.T. sensor and air intake to the t.b. from the engine bay..
