Yes

Spent $372 for the CAI and $214 for pulley and belt. The bang for buck ratio is strong. I had gotten a deal on both. Probably won't find a deal that sweet anymore, but if someone spent another $100-$200 for the combo, it's still a great buy. It's showing 10whp all the way up, and up to 16whp at 7000-7500... After I installed Long tube headers, HFC, exhaust, and no tuning.

Look man, it's common knowledge in this forum that cold air intakes have no benefit and show negligible gains below 6500 rpm. As I've stated, the delta increases exactly at that RPM on the dyno charts. You've posted 2600 times, you can't be ignorant of this. I know exactly where the pulleys made power.... EVERYWHERE. And I know where the CAI's made power, over 6.5k. I really was not trying to spell this out.

i have to agree.anytime you can remove unsprung weight (pullies,wheels ect),power increase is guaranteed and is something the ecu CANNOT adjust for !

You must mean rotating mass, and I agree with you there.

Unsprung weight is attached to the suspension and not supported by the springs.

You don't know at all where the pulley made power because you installed it at the same time as your CAI. Your claim means nothing.
