that depends on how bad the leak is. there is no set hp reduction due to an intake leak... why do you ask this?

Haha I have the same problem. Except way worse, mines a turbo. And by that I mean i'm dead even with an 02' cavalier with exhaust and intake. All I have is full racing beat exhaust. I found out my o2 sensor was barely together and all it took was to touch the wire and it fell apart. I hope that's all it takes because I should be able to beat cavaliers like a cheese on a cheese grater.
