You're looking at roughly 1% HP increase with every 10 degrees of temperature you shave.

At 300HP, that's 3HP added for every 10 degrees F.

At 90F ambient temps and 130F in the engine bay where the typical SRI is installed, that's 12 free HP.

Combine it with other similar mods to keep the intake path as cool as possible and you're looking at close to 20HP.

I did not once recommend a CAI jammed near the ground, and I am not saying that now. Did you even read my comment on that topic above?

Your choice of lost HP aside, the topic is whether or not there is a difference, and there sure as hell is. You guys can talk in sidetracking circles all you want about the topic.

Later.
