Cold air intake horsepower gains explained. See real 5–15 HP increases, what affects performance, and what your truck, Jeep, or SUV can expect.

If you’re asking how much horsepower a cold air intake adds, you want real numbers. Not hype. Not inflated claims.
Most trucks and SUVs gain 5 to 15 horsepower from a quality cold air intake.
That’s it. That’s the honest range.
On some engines you’ll see closer to 5 HP. On others, especially V8s, you might see 12 to 15 HP. The difference depends on your engine size, how restrictive your factory intake is, and what other mods you’re running.
For most owners, the bigger difference isn’t just peak horsepower. It’s throttle response. Your truck feels quicker. It revs easier. It pulls harder in the mid-range. To understand the numbers, you need to understand how airflow, engine size, and intake design all work together.
