Typically on any intake you can expect to see an increase between 7-9hp but that isn't always the case. I've seen some dynos of certain intakes as high as 11hp but the factors for the dynos, ie conditions (hot or cold) vehicle condition (new used or bad shape, good shape) as well as with fan blowing on open hood or no fan blowing with closed hood. Also the different type of dynogear factors into this as well.

You could also have someone with a chip or someone without one when this results are posted, all of this plus other things I didn't mention above such as UDP or what have you makes the hp/tq rating differentiate from one brand's intake or another on any given car.

Bottom lIne: Don't necessary believe those as advertised ads because they never factor in these differences when they post the final numbers.
