Default K&N question...

when I ordered my intake from K&N it came with a dyno chart of a before and after of a 99 mustang gt and it said it gained 10HP at the wheels... I personally think this is a load of crap but if you guys know something I dont can you let me know?

In all honesty I am sure they made 10 HP ONCE, but typically they don't make that kind of HP.

Pretty much they can just put a bunch of other mods to help flow, exhaust etc. and put the crappiest filter they can find; then dyno them.
