I'd say 5hp is low for a CAI, it's impossible for me to say...at the time, I added a host of other crap to the car...so I couldnt tell you. I can confidently tell you that CAI, and exhaust are the 2 easiest and quickest things you can do for more power (and sometimes fuel economy).

+1... and two of the most standard too. But for good quality stuff, you're looking at $500-$1000 for that advantage. I shopped carefully and was patient. I waited for a "deal" to come along.
To answer your other question: For now it seems I have solved the CEL problem. After resetting the ECU after the 55 mile problem I spoke of in the first post, I was able to drive another 200+ miles only to have the damn thing come on again. This time, I pulled the MAF out and cleaned the sensor. The light went out again once reinstalled, but only time/mileage will tell if that was the problem.
I also double checked all the connections to make sure they were tight. Since the filter was factory sealed in a plastic bag, I never thought to check and see if there was any manufacturing dirt/particles in there before I installed it. I am HOPING that that was it? It was rather dirty (on one side only?) after 35K miles.
