  Hiya,
  
  My first suggestion would be that your engine is running lean, this of course could be due to many things but if you've done the K&N things it could be needing richer needles.
  
  Also, if your cars are new they could perhapse do with a 'professional' tuning. This happened with me, I spent ages tuning mine but couldn't quite get it right each time. In the end I paid £50 and got a mobile tuning fella to do the job - it was fixed in two hours and hasn't needed touching since.
  
  Cheers
