How many miles on the plugs? I know they are rated to 100K, but that is BS, mine were toast at 80K.

When you cleaned the K&N filter, were you careful not to over oil it? Sometimes people do over oil it and the oil gets on the MAF sensor and throws things off. They end up cleaning the MAF (very carefully...).

Have you made any other changes like tire size, etc?
