Not to bash, but just to further a conversation about this. I did not say that I do not believe the power gains, I just said that it was hard for me to accept. I've personally seen dynos in the past for naturally aspirated vehicles and the most I've ever seen in person is about 8whp on a cold day. On turbo applications, I would definitely believe that a single CAI mod will produce gains of 20+whp. No doubt that one would feel a difference before and after a CAI. I'll check out the dyno forum for CAI gains.
So I found this about the Injen CAIs.
So you gain the peak hp from 7k rpm to 7.5k rpm only.
I found RCZ's thread when he reviewed the Stillen G3 intakes. He dynoed 20whp from the intakes, but seeing that his bumper cover was off and air was directed directly to the filters, it would resulted in the high hp gains.
STILLEN Longtube G3 Intakes. Review, Dyno and Impressions.
But RCZ did state that " I was pretty much speechless. I have never seen a 20HP gain from intakes on an N/A car. "
