Strategic use of "Up to" and "Estimated".

it's partly sales people to blame but also the very unscientific way we have available to measure horsepower / torque (dynos).
So they technically can't make any hard claim. They will always have to use vague language. They just then choose to make it very flattering numbers vs more conservative ones. Which most people do. |

Just out of curiosity, realistically what could be expected from a cai?

On forced induction builds, we have seen multiple tests showing gains of 40+ HP with the only addition being a Roto-fab CAI and re-tune. Michael |

A K&N decal alone adds up to 12.4 horsepower.
