Does K&N air filter really make a difference? or is there a whole new air intake setup i should get?

i would reccomend getting a cold air intake with a high flow filter, not just a filter on the stock intake. not insane power, but a mod nonetheless.

K&amp;N gives 1-2 hp on a stockmotor, a cold air intake setup with a K&amp;N should net you around 5hp (on a warm car)

What about a K&amp;N Fuel Injection Performance Kit?? Is that something good to get, and if so how much hp would it add?

I would choose the FIPK over a chrome pipe kit, because the chrome will heat up and warm the intake charge of air in the process, hurting your engine performance. Not sure exactly how much power you can expect, but probably like MD said, about 5. Not too huge, but anything to get more air into your engine is a good idea.
