You can get 4-5hp with simple drop in k&n filters using the stock air box. Much cheaper and far easier install and upkeep. And if you really want to get rid of the ribbed stock hoses go for the HPS tubes for smoother air flow.
in your calculation your KN drop-ins will only net about 2-3whp if you already have a CBE.. no? hardly a bargain.
