well that is about right because you lose 18% through the drivetrain and that would put you around 35-40 rwhp

An intake manifold on an ALL STOCK car netted 37hp at the fly? Are you crazy? Please dont even think about believing that.

you have to realize that these numbers where on an engine dyno and the car had long tubes a 75mm throttle body and the p-51 intake along with a FAST ecu tuner and tune.

+1
There aint no way on a stock motor. The stock intake isnt that restrictive on a a new edge car.

Then you must believe all the people that say they can gain 15-20 hp from a simple CAI installation too..

Yeah, on a New Edge, or more accurately, a PI motor, there's no way you'll make that much.

On a NPI stang though, you could definitely see around 50 HP with the intake, cams, and a tune.

IT IS NOT 50RWHP GAINED!!!!

The test was done on an engine dyno so 40-50hp gains are accurate since people are gaining 30rwhp from Crower st 2cams in the real world. Those cams are making power on everyones cars.
