Correct me if im wrong BUT from what else ive read, it seems that alot of the benefit from the tune+CAI is had not under the HP sector but in driveability. Things like improved throttle response times and such that really make the stang seem much improved. Im willing to bet that when coupled with the placebo effect (Long shot here because there actually IS a gain, albeit a little one) most people are thinking holy crap, this is like 50 times more fun to drive now, must have been an EPIC hp increase.

But then again. Thats just how I would look at it and how people could feel comfortable saying 30 HP gain when its not 30hp, it was 15 hp and some improved driving charachteristics

Yes, in addition to the HP gains, you'll also have improved throttle response and, if you're an auto, improved shift points. Then what does it matter since the car truly behaves much better performance wise?
