There is only one problem with trying to Dyno CAI that can ram air whilst travelling - that is you aren't travelling when Dyno'ing.

I can now say for certain that when the car gets going (~60+ km/h) and you back off the pedal and then stomp on it again, the engine now surges with far more oomph than it ever had before... something it doesn't seem to do when just accelerating up to 60 km/h in the first place. Remembering I've also added a new exhaust, headers, cat and advanced the timing - so probably all of them are contributing to the better engine outcomes.

An empty road and a stopwatch will tell you if it makes a difference. In my case, an intake was a measureable improvement.
