God knows where they got 8000 cfm from.

60 miles/hr = 1 mile/minute

2" = .166666 foot
10" = .833333 foot
1 mile = 5280 foot

volume of air through inlet opening = .166666 * .833333 * 5280

= 733.3 cubic feet/minute at 60 miles per hour.

Personally I can't see any benefit from pressure, it's the cold outside air that gives more horsepower. Plus any cold airflow over the manifold may help.
