Maximum and Typical Horsepower and Torque Gains from Airaid CAD Cold Air Intake System AR402-299

The Airaid CAD Cold Air Intake System # AR402-299 which fits your 2014 Ford F-150 with 5.0L V8 can deliver at the very most under ideal circumstances an additional 17-horse power and an additional 16-ft-lbs of torque. This means that under "typical conditions" in a "typical vehicle" you might safely expect to achieve about half of this maximum gain.

It is difficult for Airaid to quote typical/average gains since they do not actually have access to hundreds of customers' vehicles to allow for testing and documenting all of those results. When they are developing and testing products like this CAI they naturally use a vehicle known to be in excellent operating condition so as to determine the maximum possible gains from using the product. This is, of course, what they quote in their specs.

I recommend using their filter cleaner # AR790-554 to maintain maximum air flow for the included dry filter.
