Was searching the net for Injen CAI here in australia, and came across this article:
http://www.autospeed.com/A_0983/page1.html

any idea if this is possible?? I am requesting a dyno sheet from the company, as there website is down? 134 kw is 180hp at the fron wheels. That is more than I have seen on any of the dyno's on this website and thats from only a 2.25inch exhaust and Injen intake.
Anyone have similar dyno figures?

Just had a look at that article. Those before and after numbers seem high to me. A friend of mine with a Honda S2000 got 125kw to the wheels with just an exhaust system. This was at the Adelaide Auto Salon on a Dynamics Dynamometer Supplied by Morpowa. Remember the factory claim for this car is 176kw stock at the flywheel.

My car produced 113kw at the wheels on the same type of dyno at Tilbrook Dyno & Auto workshop. Thats was with intake/exhaust/ECU

I've seen stock Integra Type R's pull about 98kw at the wheels stock.

I reckon it must be on a Dynojet dynometer, which give higher power readings. 114kw stock means drivetrain loss is only 8% which is not normal. I think the guys in the US were registering 11-12% drive train loss on the dynojet's. Dynamics Dynomometer have 25% drive train loss.

That 20kw gain at the wheels seems to fishy for me. Hope the dyno sheet can clear it up for you. Still, 20kw at the wheels looks to be a unrealistic figure for those mods anyways.
