bs i can show u a dyno of a local from a cold air . he gained 17rwhp and that much tq or more

My buds car goes 11.60's with the stock intake or the aftermarket intake he bought. No Bull Shit! Ford spent alot of money on that intake setup.

13whp & not in top of power curve not going to change time much

Tune and cai will give you around 400 rwhp on these new 5.0's.

A video from a vendor holds no water. What they do is they drive the car with the stock intake, then they run it immediately on the dyno. Then after the car cools off, they stick the "Cold air intake" on, pop the hood, aim the fans at it, and claim an increase in power. CAI on the 5.0 does nothing. Neither does a K&N filter (actually has less surface area then the stock Motorcraft).

those all sucked.

No offesnse to any Camaro owners but enough with "in a straight line" bullshit. You drive a understeer plauged car that had some suspension bits and tires thrown on it. If you want to brag about handling like you drive something noteworthy buy a Z06, ZR1 or Z07. Then you could at least gloat about a car that feels nimble enough to get out of it's own way.

If u watch tge video they cheated for the tune upgrade power.
Ran 87 then tune & ran 93 to show big bump.
CAI they just added that & adjusted tune.
Now without tune who knows if it make anything

Exactly, under hood temps in the real world will kill any gains from a little extra air flow. Open hoods and fans blowing cool air are unreal at best.
