Cold Air Intake How much wheel hp or crank hp can you gain by installing a cold air intake on any car, not necessarily an LSX car.
I know they advertise them at 20hp but thats obviously with a tune and many tries on the dyno till they get the best results.

i always heard 1% of your engines hp, for every 10* of intake air temperature drop.
stock engine, breathing 100* air from the engine bay = 300hp
drop that incoming air to 70* and you'll get 3x.01x300=9hp gain
that's why alot of people run their fastest times at the track on cool nites. amazing what 30-40* can do
