air intake

now before everyone yells at me for not searching much u am at work now and can't stay on here too long, i read a little bit about the air intakes that you can install and how they can add like 10 hp, i'm just wondering if it's true?

why must people/retailers say that intakes add 10hp?

because it's an easy number to add... for example:

91' escort GT: 127hp + 10hp = 137hp
91' escort GT: 127hp + 7hp = 134hp <-- much harder to add!

ummm.. so that's why. (:

The more HP it makes the better it will sell. As a general rule, you will make half of what it says it will make (unless its NOS or some sort of FI).
