Steeda just did an experiment with JLT, AirRaid, and Steeda CAI kits for the 5.0L Coyote. All were tuned (i.e. "calibrated") with Steeda tunes and consistently pulled just a tad over 400 HP at the wheels out of all three CAI kits.
All three CAI kits were tested on the same car.
Considering that a bone stock 5.0L Coyote pumps out maybe 365-375 HP at the wheels, breaking the 400 HP mark at the wheels with the CAI and tune does back up the 25HP increases.
But of course, JLT, Steeda, AirRaid and several others are all quality CAI kits and Steeda does write good tunes. Going with a cheap no-name CAI kit and no tune will not give you the same results.

Percentage wise, the 5.0 sees pretty much the same % increase in RWHP with a good CAI & tune as the 4.6L sees; roughly 8-10% of 265 (average RWHP for the 4.6L) and the same 8-10% of 365 (average RWHP for the 5.0L). Sweet on both accounts.
