Default Vortex Intake Questions

I went to the Breathless Performance site and found and saw that the basic intake is sold as a "394 HP" package. Is this BS or are these claims real? What kind of results can I expect?

Appreciate all input.

Thanks.

I got 27 RWHP on a Dynojet Dyno with the BPP Vortex, BPP MAF Ends, and Corsa Indy Exhaust with X-Pipe. Stock I was 299.6 RWHP, after mods I was 326.5 RWHP. With 15% driveline loss, that equals 384 HP. The Vortex probably accounts for about 18-20 HP of my 27 HP gain.

Probably not much flooding in Nevada, but understand the risks:
