Joe,
When we did the dyno runs a few weeks ago in Chicago, one run with my car 
was done with the only change being the installation of a "prototype" K&N 
filter unit into my stock Delorean air box. The dyno chart showed a 3 HP 
increase at the rear wheels. I agree it's not a real big increase, but when 
you figure we're not starting with a whole lot of HP to begin with, I was 
happy with the results.
