What should my gains roughly be? 10 hp to the wheels?

I'd think the CAI would be better since isn't the popcharger just another ram air intake? which sucks in hot air from the engine bay. but I'm kinda bias since I'v used K&N in every vehicle I'v owned.

AEM Cold Air Intake.. it takes more than rain to hydro lock.. if its flooded then yeah.. stop that engine and take the bus.. It rained so hard here in Hawaii.. and no problems with my intake.. running it hard on H-3, but then again I got that dryflow.. which maybe the difference.. i dnt know..

A right-up made a while back by one of the guys from Performance Nissan stated that the hardware was top notch with the K&N. I have the typhoon as well and it's all proper stuff.
It's pretty loud, definitely a difference compared to stock. I just picked the typhoon due to the better looks than a popcharger. Also there will be more cold air coming towards the filter.

I think it goes this way guys.
you want looks, sound, and power? get the Typhoon
You just want power? Get K&N drop in filter.
You want power and sound? Get Pop Charger.
