Diff in HP between CAI, CAI+TB?

Has any1 noticed a sizable HP gain with a CAI AND Throttle Body as opposed to just a CAI? Enough to justify a 250 dollar purchase?

How much HP usually in those? And how much louder will it make my exhaust? Mine is already pretty "loud" with the Bassani's.

Isn't the stock midpipe an H-pipe? So why get an aftermarket?

Difference between JLT CAI and JLTCAIw/TB = 1 hp
Difference between JLT CAI and JLTCAIw/TBS = -1hp
Difference between stock H pipe w/cats and Pypes O/R H pipe= +6hp

All on the same dyno with the same dyno tune with good A/F curve.

I don't have a scanner so you'll just have to take my word for it.

In other words, don't get a TB or TBS if you're pretty close to stock or NA, because it won't make any difference.

The O/R H pipe is LOUD and trumpets and stinks, so mine is for sale.

When I put on the Whipple, I won't worry about the 6hp I lost by taking it off.
