The dyno sheet on Turner Motorsports website shows a 2 lb. ft of torque and 3.5 HP increase for the X5 3.0 engine. Add the Conforti cold air intake and it bumps it to 7 lb. ft and 7 HP. Also, keep in mind that most of this HP is available in the second half of the RPM range.

I saw that too and figured with the headers and cats removed I may get some additional gains. I am going to contact Conforti and see if they can tweek a chip for me similiar to what they did for the M5. They have a chip for the M5 with headers and cats removed. It's probably just wishful thinking but I am going to ask.
