I just received a vortev rammer air induction system from breathless performance that I am going to install tomorrow on my 86.How much better performance can I expect?

Youll notice the sucking sound more than any performance increase, its minimal, at least until you get over 80mph. 5-7hp at best, over the stock restrictive lid.

Have fun trying to get the Breathless product to fit right, lots of complaints about it hitting the hood.

Since you show no mods that estimate is likely close.

With my mods I would say it should give 5chp over the cut lid with K&N; that's what my SLP ram air setup gave.
