I think it's worth 5-15 RWHP and the same for torque. Good luck.

With stock CID, stock cam, and stock heads the intake is worth very little if anything - less than 5rwhp. Some have reported 0 gains.

I agree with Godspeed, 3 to 5 Rwhp max.

Not much with stock applications, 10-15 with some heads and cam or other motor work.

Not worth it with your mods (mabe 3-5rwhp).
With heads/cam it would be worth it (about 15rwhp)
