Performance Upgrades - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Not wanting to be foolish with some Xmas monies but no better place to spend than the ZR-1 so here goes [2 ] questions

for the group on upgrades for my '92 ZR-1:
1. In Carlisle with the "hoods up" I saw several with the triple air intakes with high flow K&N filters. A manufacturer states up to 20 HP gain depending on application. Thoughts Please.
2. In the forums, which by the way are fantastic, and offer so much information I have noted many using the Haibeck performance chip. I did a little research and all the info seems well documented. My question is really on the "knock" sensing or reducing false knocks by 50 %. Over time I am told that engine knock can really do damage. I would like to hear some comments on this aspect of the upgrade [engine calibration] by members who have upgraded to such a chip.

I read the threads on porting, etc. and those options are out of my budget anyway $$$.
Thanks and Happy Holidays !!!
