Must be careful when using on spread bore intakes. Usually will require a thin steel plate for proper mating. It's not that they provide a tone of HP, it's that the HP gains to cost of item is really good. Could be in the 3-8 HP range or more. What I seem to notice is a pickup in throttle response.
I have one I just put on my intake (which I think is a spread bore) but I dont have a thin steel plate (there was one but it seemed redundant so I took it out). Truck seems to run fine though? Hmmm
