I seen in a magazine a few months back that they dynoed a car and it gained like 2.5 hp. I have read on here people have lost hp though. When I installed mine it felt like I gained some sotp in the mid range.

Mine idled a bit smoother, and it felt like my mid range was up as well, not much though.

Save your money for more useful mods.
I ran the stock MAF (with screeen in place) and ported stock TB on my car up until 425rwhp worth of mods. I swapped the stock MAF out for an 85mm because I went with the 90mm/90mm FAST LSX intake/TB combo.

If you have a stock ls1/ls6 intake, the stock MAF and a ported stock TB are your best intake components. SLP 85mm MAF does nothing but trick your timing. The BBK 85mm TB is larger than the intake port on your gm intake- total waste.
