I just realized the other day that the plastic tube running from my air filter to a bracket below the head light was missing, so I orderd a new one. Im waiting for Kragen to deliver my K&N air filter and will install both. Will I notice a difference at all...............?

If you think about it, an engine creates power by liberating the energy contained in the fuel: the calorific value of gas.
In order to burn fuel the engine needs oxygen contained in the air. So just adding more air does not add any more calories.
The amount of fuel is controlled by the jets in the carburettor or the map in the engine management computer. If you remapped the computer to add more fuel to match the increase in air flow you may see something, but as the article points out, the increase in air flow provided by K&N filters is negligible.
Some aftermarket filter systems increase the amount of intake noise heard by the driver so it's tempting to conclude that the engine is producing more power.
For the kind of driving we do in our Jeeps, keeping the :poop: out of the motor is the bigger concern.

Cold air is more dense and hence contains more O2 per cuft.
