How does it do in the hills?

PS... I washed my car and looked at replacing the stereo (plus adding a little bit of damping material.
Don't have much experience yet with hills, first impression it does OK.

Popped in a K&N Filter. (Standard type, but feels and sounds a tiny bit better)

why not use a dry flow? no need to oil it. just wash dry and pop back in.

Coworker recommended the K&N. I purchased the recharge kit and don't mind the work...saved the factory filter to use while the K&N is drying from the cleaning.

Yeah K&n is ok but you have to add just the right amount of oil each time you use it ( I used to have one) its kinda a pain to wash the old oil off, wait for it to dry, re oil with just the right amount, wait for the oil to spread through the pleats, and then re install. With a dry flow you wash, dry, and then re install. You don't have to buy any oil and you don't have to worry about over oiling and damaging sensors or under oiling and getting lots of silica (dirt) in your engine.

Now you have me thinking of changing. Air flow is better with K&N, right?

Yeah oiled is better for flow. Less efficient filtration though. Thats the trade off.
