Detroit made some pretty high output engines for decades that used nothing but.

As already mentioned, more flow should mean more hp. But the amounts of hp increases that can be had by simply changing to a different type of filter will be next to nothing, if anything at all.

I do believe that a K&N should give some hp, but I don't see how it can be more than like 1 hp, maybe 2 hp. I don't believe their claims of any more than that.

The errors and variations just from dyno run to dyno run with the same car on the same day with the same dyno, will vary between 1 and 10 hp each time you do a run. So if K&N does a dyno run where the gain is 6 over the last dyno run with a paper filter.....was it the filter????? I think NOT.
