Wow how can it be sed that cai is worth nothing! Your car is meant to be driven on the street not dyno'ed. Besides my electric fan, a cai was one of the best bang for the buck mods i did on my stang. Just my input.

Cars that I've had that I've done the "CAI" thing to have seemed to gain no horsepower, but be slightly more responsive.

CAI.........cold air intakes depending on their dimensions should help in the horsepower department...........but not like some of the companys who build them say they will. I mean your not gonna get 20 hp from a air filter, unless you already have the best of everything (i.e. larger cylinder heads, better exhaust,mass air meter, throttle body, injectors, camshaft, headers etc etc...) then you might would have a restriction with a K&N or its "equal" in the filter department......... the truth is you may get 5-6 hp on a given combo on a dyno with the right factors involved. But I very much doubt a stock 5.0 mustang wouldnt get some hp gain..........

do we least forget 1 or 2 horsepower here and there x's 10 makes 10-20 hp?
