They claimed that on their previous generation intake as well and LOST hp. Tuner mag recently tested the new K&N & got about 2-3 hp across board.

Ya, and who is going to sue them for false advertising? no one!

Go with user results and DYNO. I don't trust K&N for the RX 8.

Maybe 10HP in the bottom of Death valley, in the dead of winter, at 2AM in the morning.
