Thanks ...but some times I feel lazy to do a search

search, as for the hp on a CAI, it all depends on what your running it on along with what mods. It shouldnt be more than 5-15 hp or no more than a 5% increase. You do get better throttle response and engine efficiency with a CAI. Most people tend to overlook that and go straight for the HP gains. Just be sure that if you want a CAI, try as best you can to keep it dry.
