Will I see similar gains w/ all tuned CAI's?

Getting ready to order a CAI and I'm looking at what AM has to offer. I'm leaning towards the Airaid Race CAI that's for $269 plus a $50 rebate. Seems like a really good deal. But I was just wondering, should I expect to see similar gains from all these CAI's on AM? I'm running a 93 octane tune now so I'll be running the same with my CAI so I'm looking for most gains but not trying to spend too too much.

I'm not asking what is the best CAI cause I know its all subjective and just based on opinions with some dynos to help prove certain gains. I just want to know if I should expect similar gains from any of those from AM, that way I can just go for the good deal they have on the Airaid Race CAI. Or if anyone knows of any particular CAI that really excels above the others. Thanks guys.

Hey Brandon,
The answer is simply "YES" Most of the CAI's out there produce the same HOURSEPOWER as the other. Chose the one you like the looks of............. But you need to get the proper tune for the CAI you chose.

I went with a K&N because it was a "no tune" CAI. At the time I couldn't afford a tuner and I found the CAI from a guy on Craigs list for a SWEET deal. Got the CAI a couple of weeks later got the tuner. Tuned it up and now it kicks ***. So for the most part they are all the same.......
