330 x 12
=== = x = about 3.6% more
100

this is less then the measurement tolerance of the dynamometer 8-10% that is always a argument why the measurements differ
and this is not becaues of the weather forecast

there are people on here that have done back to back dynos to show they make power when tested in the exact same conditions (most of the time with an even hotter engine) on the same dyno. from one dyno to another there is a large percentage of error but back to back pulls are fairly accurateand the car only makes 280~ whp not 330 so 12 hp is more like 4.2 percent and an easier equation is 12/285 = .042 or 4.2 percent. Most CAI systems even with the longer tube are less restrictive thanks to the elimination of the accordian sections, restrictivly small filters and air passages, and cldier air thank to a more remote intake location.
