If you are thinking about doing this yourself and have no prior experience with it, you might want to reconsider. That material is awful thin in places.
That said, I have seen reports here of 10-12 RWHP following installation of a ported intake manifold.

10 RHWP for each depends who's doing the porting.
If I do it - you'll lose HP
You'll get answers between 10 & 50 from members

I had american racing headers, ported intake, ported throttle body and tune by Tom Wong. The car dynoed at 375 hp on a mustang. I would guess about 385 on a dynojet. I also realized a slight increase in fuel economy. I would not expect a huge increase in HP from porting a throttle body.

I got 15/rwhp and 15/rwtq from the ported intake. Didn't dyno after the ported TB. Tuner said probably not HP gains on the TB, but the torque would be more in the lower range.
