Very clean looking. Looking at their numbers, they picked up 10 HP without a tune. The A/F ratio went from 12 to 13 so I'm thinking they picked up 5 HP with the a/f change. I'm guessing an open element air intake will pick up another 3 HP on a dyno over the factory box do to an open hood. The factory airbox cannot take advantage of the open hood the way an open element air intake can. Based on this math, the C & L is making less than 5 HP over the factory box. Everything else is coming from the tune. I'm not bagging on C & L I just don't think you'll see much more than 5 HP coming from the air intake on a 2010. 800 cfm should feed a 4.6L making 315HP. What's the TB flowing? 750 cfm?

For the amount of money spent on a tune and CAI, I would hope for more gains. I'm still going to do it, but I guess I was hoping for more like 25 rwhp gains for $600 plus spent.
