View Full Version : CAI Dyno Numbers?

Is there anyone that has dyno results from the CAI intake? The website claims 15hp, and in my opinion it's a better design than the K&N, but some hard numbers would be nice.

i would think that the real world gains are closer to 5-10hp

I was thinking something like that. I'm just getting ready for headers/LS6 and didn't want a bottleneck.

i think thats what i saw out of mine on the dyno.

How'd it do torque wise?

I'd like to see a before/after test of a CAI (K&N or Cold Air Inductions) on an otherwise stock LS4. I'd bet you'd see less than half of what they claim. Likewise with tunes, headers, downpipes.

downpipe and exhaust were about the same for me. Tune always averages about 7-10hp for me. Headers will prolly be around 15. Intake is over 20hp.

So about 45hp for all not bad

the fact that headers showed a what....18/30 gain without a tune was very impressive, especially since they still had the cat on that car. I think a hogan catless welded to the headers will probably give a good increase, especially if the intake is opened up.

A lot of times those advertised numbers are on cars with other mods, like headers on a car when they dyno'd increases from a cam.

i had inflated torque numbers because it flashed like 320 or something so i dont really have any clue.

but notice on the test cars the stock one dynos like 250 which from what i have seen is on the higher end of the spectrum. the cars that make more power stock bennifit from mods like that more than ones that have lower numbers.

Dyno variance is probably a likely answer. I dyno'd around 260 with catless DP/cutout before my tune, however I was EXTREMELY lean.
