If you got 12 horses(and that's a big IF)..... you're not going to feel it in the seat of your pants. What you really need is simply cold air, and most tuners will want a cooler thermostat. There are cheaper ways to get cold air without changing the intake. Unless your going bigger cam and such....the intake and exhuast on your Vette is adequate. You will get something from it, but I think you will be disappointed with how much... for the price.
Just my opinion, tho.

Having the ECM tuned will void the warranty, my other option is buying an second ECM and have that tuned.

I had a Killer Bee installed on my six speed and it didn't pop. Waste of money, yep....it's sitting in the closet as I wasnt' will to go the extra mile to spend more money and mod to get some cold air.

Typically it is going to be worth it if you mod the exhaust as well, and then a tune would be even more helpful. A tune can help with just an intake if there are dead spots like others mentioned.
