CAI provide any real hp?
 
I've been considering a CAI for my justa but I'm looking for a little extra hp, not just extra noise. Are there any dyno figures out there for the available CAIs? My previous toy car was a 1st generation Miata. There were lots of extra hp gimmicks available but, unfortunately, most of them didn't really provide any extra power. All show and no go.

It's going to get louder... a lot louder. But honestly none of the setups I have had made the car pull any harder than stock. If you're not looking for noise it's probably not worth it.

Seems like the general answer for adding pull to Non-S is dropping weight. Lighter wheels and tires, maybe yank out the back seat, and work on improving the handling, which is it's real strength. That's what I'll be doing.

We actually dyno tested the DDMworks intake for the R56 Cooper and with it the car gained 8 ftlbs torque at the wheels.

Is the dyno chart online anywhere? I'd like to see how the whole graph lines up with a stock MC.

A real dyno chart would be helpful but it looks like there's not really any extra hp to be extracted from the justa.
