LOL, 3 WHOLE HP you say? And you don't realize that's within the margin of error on a 650hp vehicle?
And there's plenty of data to support otherwise, you're not even using your head here, you're just being stubborn for the sake of not ever wanting to admit you're wrong about something and this topic has come up before and you always proclaim dry is superior even when you feely admit the difference between the wet and dry filters is not big either way, but the reality is, it depends on how much air you're trying to pull through those filters. At near stock levels, both filters flow ENOUGH, at higher HP levels, a wet filter flows more air period, so its going to make a bigger difference in a higher HP vehicle.
Some light reading about flow of dry vs oiled.

And here's another manufacturer, which one says maximum performance and which one says maximum convenience? Hell, the oiled filter even has more layers and still flows more than the dry filter.

Oh, and one more for good measure, but what does K&N know?

Oddly, there's no dry filter option for the Rotofab Big Gulp which is their highest performing cold air intake for these cars. You can however get a dry filter in their lower flowing standard Rotfab intake. Wonder why that is...

Dry filters exist for two purposes, they filter particulates slightly better when new and they're disposable. Wet filters flow MORE air volume and flow more air consistently as they get used than a dry filter and of course they can be maintained forever.
