How do I keep my car from stalling at speed?

If the car will stall when the clutch is pushed in at speed to coast, the fix is simple: This is fairly common with the K&N style after market intakes, primarily with the Stillen model because the 'horn' for the filter is polished smooth. The simple solution is to tape the bottom of the filter to disrupt airflow through the MAS. Apparently, it's caused by air entering the filter and getting moved through the MAS at the appropriate rate, but it's flowing around the sensor in the center of the MAS body. Like blowing smoke rings. The tape will cause the airflow to contact the sensor and offer the ECU the correct air meterings. Imagine the grey bit as being tape (I use aluminum tape, duct tape would work too). Put the tape part on the bottom of the filter when it's installed, so the tape is blocking the 'first' air to enter the cone from the bottom.
