Do you just have the K&N hanging right off the front of the MAF? If so, clocking won't get you anything.
What it's really meant for is people who have a cold air kit that has a bend in the pipe directly in front of the MAF. This can cause turbulence and erroneous MAF readings. Clocking usually means turning the MAF so that the sampling tube is on the outside of the bend in the tube, where it will catch the most air.
