CAI, no power gains, unless you are removing the stock air silencer, then maybe 1-2 hp. Pulleys, maybe 3 to 10, also depending on mods and more so in the higher rpms. Neither will you really notice in the seat of the pants. OK let me just clarify something. You won't gain any hp, you will just free up lost hp.

I disagree with this post all together. My car stock did 272/281 at the wheels SAE. Since then I have put CAI,pulleys,timing adjuster, catback,throttlebody spacer, k&n. My car now makes 312/318 at the tires SAE. Not to mention when that little switch on the console is flipped. The the big numbers come.
