The more air that you can crame into the cylinder walls the more powerful the explosions are gonna be. That 1-2 Horsepower increase is better than none. But hey, if it makes ya feel better then keep thinking 5-10 (even though a whole freakin exhaust system (Magnaflow) DOES increase HP up to 13...Therefor, a simple "air duct" system (Cold Air Intake) is nowwhere near equivilant to a new exhaust.
-Owned.
Me and camaro94 have the same setup.

it really depends. if you throw an intake into a car that was already stock, then the gain won't be that much, but if you throw it into a car that has an aftermarket exhaust, then the gain will be more because intake and exhaust mods compliment each other.
