See the attached PDF I got off the AEM company website. They claim the following:
Largest Gain: 21.7 hp @ 2500 RPM and 37.4 ft-lbs @ 2500 RPM
I have the Brute Force. I haven't run on a dyno so don't know what I'm running. I do know though it sounds and looks great.

There's all kinds of "claims" in the adverstising for the "intake kits" from all the suppliers - unless you've got several modifications that require more "air" or your original stock airbox had a clogged filter - about top of line hp pickup might be 4-5hp - maybe.

read 4 inch massive piping
