Default High Flow Air Duct

I am getting a Vortex Ram air system within two days. My question, if I upgrade my Air Duct or is it worth it at all?? Anyone have any numbers to back this up on the 3 to 5 hp gain.

Should I save half my money and buy the LS6 intake which is my next mod. Thank in advance. :cheers:

Save the $150 to $200 for a shifter! You're not getting any appreciable HP with the duct. :cheers:
