The engine is tuned for the airflow provided by the stock intake. With a stock tune it can only efficiently and effectively use that amount of air. Any CAI may raise or lower the HP/trq. curves very very slightly, but peak power with a stock tune and CAI will change very little. A CAI other than bling, can be a building block to add power in concert with a tune, porting, fuel delivery, increased exhaust flow, etc. On its own, its a bling thing.
