Air filters

Update - there's a noticeable difference in smooth throttle application, esp at low speeds. It seems like the car had to adjust to the increased air flow b/c initially it was laggy, but after a few miles this went away. I like it. I need to do a new dragy to see if there is any performance improvement; currently 0-60 at 4.36 BEFORE aFe filter is my best time thus far.

I'll have the first sample of our new ITG filter for the Explorer ST in a few days, I'll post some pics when installed
here's a link to learn more about the ITG product https://itgairfilters.com/technology/

I had a similar experience initially with my Dryflow. I actually switched back to OEM paper after a couple days. I then read somewhere that with newer Ford vehicles, after changing the filter, just start the engine, don't rev or touch the throttle. Don't do anything. Just let the car breathe for at least 5 minutes. Apparently there is a calibration process that will try to optimize airflow, and some other factors, based on current conditions. But you need to give the systems a few minutes to do all the math.
I did this after reinstalling the Dryflow, and have not looked back. Might want to give that a try. Maybe it's a myth. But it don't cost nothin'. And it seems to have worked in my case.

Or you could burn incense and chant. Guys, I'm seeing posts talking about the ECU somehow adapting to airflow at idle, requiring 5 minutes to "do the math" and magically "calibrating" some sort of airflow optimization etc. It's not happening. For the ECU to do that sort of thing, there would have to be some type of sensor right? So where is the sensor for pressure differentials between the air filter and the speed density measurement system? There isn't any. I'm not trying to flame anyone, but posting about some kind of huge difference in idle quality, transmission shifting, and throttle smoothness, isn't supported by anything other than your subjective butt dynos.
