Good job Bit!
A resolution to the factors you mentioned.
Wait a sec...where is the MAS? Oh, I see it. Keep us posted!

The K&N intake looks awesome! I have been contemplating the SRT/ECU bundle but after hearing about the non-CARB certification as well as other complaints, I am hesitant.
So do you have to put the pedal to the medal to actually "hear" the K&N intake? I was kind of hoping for some around-the-town volume?

Bit -
When you installed the K&N kit, did you disconnect the battery so the computer could rest and adjust the air/fuel mixture with the new filter? If you didn't, that may explain the slight drop in performance since the computer is still trying to use the old air/fuel mixture based on the old air volume vs. the new more available air volume from the new filter.
After you disconnect the battery, it'll take the computer about a day of normal driving to adjust the new air/fuel mixture. The shift points will also be a little higher than normal at first but that will also come back to normal after a day or so.

nice job, bit!! I noticed that you removed the stock plastic airflow piece that directs air to the left side of the engine bay. Would it not fit with this FIPK kit?? Only reason I ask is that I noticed alot of folks that get the SRT setup usually leave that piece on. Who knows, maybe it could help help direct fresh cool air??
BTW, I put this kit on my old Expedition, so I can identify with the somewhat "mushy" feel under acceleration.

And I *LOVE* the sound.

Not that it really matters to me since I'm in GA like Bit, but I just got my SRT/ecu intake in yesterday and mine has the carb sticker on it. According to what I've read in the instructions, it is on the shield. I will verify.

The SRT system I installed this week had the CARB sticker loose in the box. The instructions said to place the sticker on the heat shield.

Are we sure that this is clearly the case? Is SRT really CARB certified? Maybe the intake is but the ECU might be a different story?

The ecu piggy back is concealed inside the ecu box. Unless you take the two 10mm bolts off and open the case, you can't see from the outside at all.
