As far as setup goes, you probably won't gain any performance unless you sit in hot traffic a lot. The stock filter heats up and just cooks your intake air after about 10-15 minutes of stop and go, then never seems to cool off. I did a sample of temp readings and posted the results...somewhere, I'll look for it later when I have more time.
I would prefer a more efficient, paper filter, that way you don't get the small particulate into the engine. I ended up using the oil separator from the stock intake and filled it with steel wool. You can get all that stuff for less than $20 at Autozone.
