This K&N unit actually looks like a good item for the N/A Solstice. Also take note of a couple of other items from the dyno:
1. The intake air temperature for the K&N run was 3 degrees farenheit higher than when the stock intake dyno run was made.
2. The atomospheric pressure was slightly less for the K&N run than when the stock intake dyno run was made.

Both of the above items would tend to hinder the power that was produced by the K&N unit.

That 5.41 whp increase equates to roughly 6.5 bhp increase (using 83% drivetain efficiency) and I too think that these values are very believable value for a CAI.
