Air filter/smoke ??

I replaced the Fleetgaurd with K&N drop in air filter.

With a new Fleetguard, the filter minder would pull 3/4 yellow in at WOT from 2nd gear. With the K&N, the filter minder doesn't move. I think I read that the K&N renders the filter guard useless. ??

Also, If I'm not imagining things, it doesn't smoke as bad when I throw the fuel to it.

Any ideas/comments?

k&n filters let more air through than stock- more air= more complete burn= less smoke.
