The point I was trying to make is that no, a CAI would not replace intercooling in a typical forced induction setup (though with a low PSI setup it may bring you back down to norman IATs). However, that is not to say that it would produce NO benefit. And personally, I'd rather take an additional 7 horsepower if I could get it with something as simple as a CAI than leave it off just because it was "only 7 horsepower."

Long day bud...long day
7hp extra would be fun -- but not at the added expense of using someone's "CAI" product (in most cases wouldn't be viable for a turbo/centrifugal SC setup since none of it would line up w/ stock locations). Well thought out placement is good, but spending much time beyond that isn't really worth it in the long run. In most cases, you'll never see the full "theoretical" number unless you get viable benchmarking post IC. IC efficiency > all
