Tim, Im not doubting you got more boost with a new filter, I saw a extra 2lbs with mine. I had a electronic Boost Guage several years ago and it wasnt accurate at all. It was often off by as much as 3lbs when I was running a total of 12lbs. I also noticed the same problem with the electronic Fuel pressure gauge. Its been about 4 yrs and maybe they have improved in time.

I can't see any way that the butt dyno would miss an extra 2.5 lbs of boost, which would neccessarily translate into double-digit HP numbers.
BTW, my electronic boost gauge is a new model which has only been out a year or so. At $190 MSRP, it had better be pretty damn close to perfect!

Go Figure...
I saw a guy dyno his stock L last week. Three pulls with the stock air box(NO filter) got a best of 363RWHP.
Put the K&N panel back in for the fourth pull and got 371RWHP!!! I don't know what happened, but I saw it. I heard some talk about "smoothing the airflow".
