Yes it is IF YOU ARE GOING TO TUNE YOUR CAR WITH THE SWAP and lots of people have picked up dyno and track gains from adding one. You really can't go by one person's opinion, but considering very few say it does nothing that should tell you something. And GS Man is running an LS7 intake which flows better than the LS3 - a good idea if you don't want to tune your car.

On both counts.However, it really comes into it's own on the track at WOT. For those who rarely see WOT for more than a few seconds at a time or who deal only in SOTP performance, you'll never have any conclusive evidence of the differences.
