Air ducts on stock cars are worth nothing! We tested one on my head cam motor making 449 rwhp and saw no power change. They are for looks.

Absolutely nothing on a stock car. Coupled with a true CAI like a Vararam, maybe 1hp. Under no circumstances will it be worth 5hp though.

just for looks on a stock car, id say with some type of forced indicution or built motor maybe something small, but not worth your money if your looking for performance. if you wanna see a gain get a dyno tune for 350 bucks, you should see more then 5 with that.

I recommend the Callaway Honker CAI that eliminates that air bridge altogether, and it also moves the MAF closer to the TB for better reads...which is what the GM engineers did on the C6's. I'm happy with mine!
