When installing a body lift, does the gas tank need modification?

Instead of lengthening the gas filler as with most kits, you can raise the whole gas tank up. In the front, use two 2x2" spacers like in the kit and use 2" longer bolts. In the back, drill two new holes on the bracket and rebolt it.

Are the K&N (and equivalent) AirCharger mods applicable/beneficial to supercharged Xs?

As with performance exhausts, yes - absolutely. Increasing efficiency provides increased engine power regardless of engine type.

How do I maintain the K&N air filter?

Purchase a K&N air filter cleaning kit from your favorite vendor. It is comprised of cleaning solution and spray-on oil. Follow the directions on the box - basically, soak the filter with water/solution mix, rinse and allow to dry naturally. Then apply the spray-on oil lightly and evenly until cotton gauze is red in color on both sides. Reinstall.

Can I clean and re-use my stock paper air filter?

Stock paper filters should never be cleaned or re-used. Replace with a new unit.
