SVT airbox appears to be good to about 200 wHP with the many dyno's I've run and seen, but that is on a 3L which is wheezing its way up to 200 wHP. Just pulling stock SVT filter off for one run was good enough for a 5-6HP gain in back to back runs.
For the 2.5L with less displacement it my start affecting things lower, in the 180 wHP range.
