Heh!

Right there, you know it's a lie...

CAI, by definition, means MORE (cold ,dense) air will be taken into your engine, right?

MORE air requires MORE fuel! Thus, yes, you would get more HP & Torque, if the theory is correct, but gas mileage would HAVE to suffer as a result...

Either that, or you would be stumbling down the road with an overly lean mixture, which would mean less HP & Torque!

Sorry, but there's no free lunch here...
