i'd love to see evidence

i'm not trying to hate on the KA but that seems a little bit far fetched for a 2.4 4 cylinder.

I'd understand if it was a 7.2 8 cylinder motor.

Its pretty widely accepted that CAI/header/exhaust will get you 10-15 hp on a NA KADE.

When searching, the dyno pics are so old they are no longer hosted, so are just red Xs now.

10-15hp is completely understandable with cai/headers/exhaust no problem.

10whp sure, 15-20whp, maybe .

but by a 3" exhaust, people claim 15hp? no way, especially on an N/A 2.4 liter.

It's actually within reason. But maybe closer to 10-12 probably.
