I'll be honest. In my experience - the only time I ever got any benefit from a CAI, that I could actually measure, was in my Regal when I added forced induction. I believe that was simply due to me exceeding the airflow capacity of the stock air box.
although it's a little outside the frame of reference regarding CAI. The biggest gains I've had across the board with every engine I've done it with is gasket matching heads intake and exhaust, and and simple polishing and edge matching the various intake components. (like the seam between throttle body and intake manifold)
