If you have a good intercooler, it's not X-10 != Y-10, it's X cooled to ambient == Y cooled to ambient, in which case, a CAI makes no difference.

Whether or not anyone's IC's are that good is the question... probably not so much on a hot day, but on a hot day, you're going to be losing power anyway so what's the difference of losing 10hp vs 12hp... is not really significant.
