I'm in St. Paul. I know it's not that cold out. However, at the end of
January, we usually get our coldest temps and when I'm starting in the
morning, it's usually 5:00am, which usually has a temperature pretty close
to the overnight lows. Hence the 3-4 weeks from now comment.

Are there any comparisons of CFM between factory, K&N factory fit (what
I've got installed) and a full-blown cold-air intake? I did notice a
change when I put in the K&N, but the old filter was also pretty dirty
when I installed it (just after I bought it).
