Post some dyno results of 370z 's that have only had there stock CAI replaced with after market ones, most hp results are very minimal.

Sure if you put some big after market CAI on the car and then put on a good set of headers, large pipes and free flowing muffers and also eliminate the CATS and spend about $2500 and $500 on remapping , you will see some gains, but not from just simply putting on CAI by itself.
Already modded, my car gained at least 10whp from my intakes but I can't give an accurate number because NST pulleys were installed as well. Your still missing the point with the intakes. The stock intakes are still restrictive at the over 6,000rpm, regardless if they are getting cool air away from the engine bay. Tube diameter and new filters account for most of the gains. AEM, Stillen, AAM, Takeda, Akuma, and Injen have CAI's. That's a lot of companies creating a product you think does not work.

Below is a link to AEM's news article on the Nismo 370Z intakes.
2009, 2010 & 2011 Nissan 370Z Nismo 3.7L Get Power with AEM Electronically Tuned Air Intake System

If you don't like them, then dont buy them, don't spread BS that they can only gain hp if you have other breather mods. It's untrue.
