Ok now I know what you guys are going to say, that there are always CAI questions but I didn't feel like looking around for answers when I could post and get them right away so here goes... the MAC CAI, if anyone has it, advertises that it'll add 15rwhp... I'm sort of skeptical about this and wanted to know if anyone has this kit and if they really saw improvement from it. Let me know what you guys think and tell me if there is another good one I can buy that will have a noticeable improvement in performance. I'm getting a new plenum today and then I'll get a 75mm throttlebody and after all that a full exhaust setup... just need to know if getting the CAI will be worth it. Thanks in advance.

No CAI is going to make a "noticeable" difference. You might gain 1-2 rwhp from it after you have your tb/plenum installed. The only thing its going to do is give you a little better throttle response.

This article might help give you an idea about the gains ;

The following mods :

-C&L 80mm Mass Air Flow kit (includes conical K&N filter)
-C&L TrueFlow Inlet Tube
-C&L TrueFlow Intake Plenum
-Accufab 75mm throttlebody (also tested the Accufab 70mm)
-Pro-M Remote Optimizer (for tuning air/fuel ratio)

Overall Gains:
Our first set of results shows 3 runs including the best Baseline Run which is with our MAC CAI, the best run after installing the 80mm MAF kit, and then the last showing the best run after tuning with the Optimizer, 75mm throttlebody, C&L plenum, & 80mm MAF. The graph shows a big horsepower gain throughout the powerband, but from 4000 to 6000rpm it drastically increased. The end result was a peak gain of 22.6 rwhp and 28.1 rwtq !
