50 hp gain from an intake?!

[bquizzle88]

i was cruzing autoanything for a intake filter and came across this "AFE" brand and couldn't believe what i was reading. my question is if this is really true. (especially the bold part)

Stop your stock intake from holding back your performance. The AFE Cold Air Intake System comes in several different stage options for varying levels of seat-of-your-pants horsepower gains.

Depending on your specific vehicle and your needs, the AFE Cold Air Intake System replaces your stock air box, filter and tube with a custom-tuned components. All kits come with the renowned AFE high-flow filter and a powder-coated steel heat shield to keep warm air out of your manifold.

And, it only gets better from there. Many AFE Air Intakes go further, replacing your stock intake tract, too. This allows for the largest, most efficient intake possible, along with monster gains of up to 50 horsepower! What’s more, AFE Air Intakes are perfect for working with future performance upgrades.

Each AFE Cold Air Intake System includes a AFE long-life reusable filter and are ready for easy bolt-on installation in about half an hour. Plus, your AFE Cold Air Intake Kit is covered by a Lifetime Warranty.

im not sure but i thought that most intakes only give like 10-15 hp MAX. this one only cost like 247$ too.

Pretty hard to buy with all the proven facts out there about other aftermarket intakes never exceeding the 10 to 15 horse poower range or as much as 10% with most of the products out there. I personally have not heard that air intakes will deliver that much increase.

I would have to say BS at this time,

BAZ...

I think 5-10 is the more realistic figure, if you read the fine print on many of these they'll go on to say that if you are making 600 whp on a turbo motor using a completely stock intake you oculd gan 50 hp at the crank, they love to everstate the numbers because a lot of people are gullible enough to think that means they are gonna get 50 hp to the wheels, these are the same people who buy the electric cuperchargers and the little pellet gun size disposable nitrous shots

Im gonna have to agree w/ the guys response. thats a whole lotta gain.

total BS. Unless they're using the old school advertising tactic of putting stock intakes on a bigh-boost FI application, then swapping theirs over and caliming the "gain"from it....

either way, shady and total crap. Even the Top secret custom plenum and ITB setup wouldn't net 50hp.
