I don't know EXACTLY how much it adds but I doubt it adds more than FIVE HP...tops. By itself, it isn't a big power adder. You're allowing the car to breathe better so acceleration will be a lot more responsive. If you have a cat-back, you'll feel the difference a whole lot more.

My friend had his 99 with just his catback and it felt a little stronger than stock. After he added the intake though it felt WAY stronger.

You'll like it, trust me...it's well worth the $$$. Not in terms of materials (probably costs $20 to make) but you'll enjoy the performance from it.

I felt a difference after my Moroso CAI install. I especially felt a difference after I drove a stock 95 V6 Firebird after that. It felt DEAD!!!

Basically, any CAI will give you the same amount of power. Just pick which one you like the best.

Cool

Exactly like stated above,a cold air alone will give you MAYBE 5-7hp to the wheels.But if you have or install a cat-back then that number might go up to 10-12.These numbers are just guesses since most of us have never dynoed before/after every mod especially with our 3.4's.Good luck whatever you do.You will definately feel a difference over stock.

You'll get nothing much with out a larger throtle body and a up graded fuel system to deliver more fuel.
