K&N Air Intake

[badinfluenceRS]

Here is a dyno chart of a Grand Prix 3800 series II with the K&N Intake system for that car...it says it gained 13.37hp, but it looks like either it was a GTP or it was at the crank b/c the total dyno hp was 216.09...is a K&N CAI this efficient on our cars?

Re: K&N Air Intake

you gain a good 5-10 hp, and it sounds good, some people also install slp and fast toys ram airs with the kits to help it get cooler air.

Re: K&N Air Intake

CAI's don't help our cars out that much. Especially not 5-10 hp..maybe 5 if you're lucky.

They just help bring in cooler air to the engine and they are a helper to all future mods.

Re: K&N Air Intake

that's what I thought...I was surprised when it said it gained 13hp

Re: K&N Air Intake

Well on some vehicles...............imports especially, a CAI does help it's Hp tremendously more than our cars. And still it's the support for all other base mods. That is why most "ricers" you see, the main things they have done to their car at first is get their CAI and a bumblee catback exhaust.

Re: K&N Air Intake

It does say s/c in the title of the K&N chart so... i don't know if that could be to the wheels or not.
