Angry Less max speed

Hello.
I mounted a K&N ind. kit and now I have a better gas comsumption and a better acceleration, but I feel the car not runs freely above the 180km/h and the max. vel. is 200Km/h.
Before, with the stock air filter the car runs good at 180km/h and my max velocity was 200-210Km/h.

Maximum speed is a function of gear ratios and how long you can wait for the revs to build up. If the road is long enough I don't see how the top speed can be effected positively or negatively by changing a filter

Unhappy

Hi!
I refer how to be upper the rpm's.
Before on the freeway I was accelerated in 6th gear at 6500rpm and the speed was then 210km/h.
Now, I can't to be upper the rpm's above the 5600rpm in 6th gear.
I can only arrive at 6500rpm when the car run on downhill.

Is possible too much air in the intake?

Thanks.
Yui.

how long have you been running the filter before you tried the top end run. It is possible that the comp. is reading a bit lean condition with the better filter and is retarding the timing a tad perventing the top end. I changed to the K&N filter for my S and noticed the same thing at first. the top end just wasnt there. after a bit the car ran better and top end increase almost to the way it was with the stocker.. But (yes theres always a but) after running NOS octane booster in the car. Not only did I get better top end but I also got better gas milage.
