2.5 inches of water is the difference between stock and the CAI CAI at 350g/s ( about 430 HP). That is .09 PSI, using the standard calculation of 1 psi is about 7 percent delta in HP. That is .061 percent delta or about 3.6 HP on this engine. Not nothing, but not lots either.

Or it takes 14.7 PSI or 1 bar to produce 455 HP. 2.5 inches of water is .09 PSI Do the math the engine makes about 31 HP per PSI of air, so a pressure drop of .09 PSI is a => 2.79 HP loss.

I have owned or own both the CAI CAI and the Mishimoto. I think they are both high quality, I don't have any idea how much gains are from either. Both look and sound great. Sheer laziness keeps me from testing the Mishimoto vs a mod stock box and green filter on a dyno.... I've tuned for A/F only and turned off the rear 02s.
