always a good idea to let the system reset after adding something

Also, the K&N intake isn't all that great- it doesn't seal well at all- and will let a lot more hot air in. Sure the filter flows better, but higher IAT's (especially sitting still for awhile with no airflow through the engine bay) could be negating any performance gain as well.
