You cannot compare the benefit of a CAI on an N/A car vs. an FI car. The benefits are always vehicle specific. An AEM intake for a Hyundai Tiburon will net 18+ HP but an AEM on a Civic will net 5 - 7 HP. I'm sure there are cars that can post better numbers and worse numbers. So which numbers do you use to compare to any random FI vehicle? Which FI vehicle numbers do you compare the other numbers to? Neither side of the argument is right or wrong, you can't compare apples to oranges to be a little cliche...
