Definitely stand to gain a good amount especially coming from an LS1/stock throttle body to a 90/90. I would say anywhere from 15-25RWHP.

id have the weiand ported or extrude honed and use the bbk tb save you alot of money and imo you should see some nice gains
this is the main advantage of the metal intake it can be fully ported.i couldnt imagine spending 1k+ for a plastic intake and it be destroyed by a n2o back fire just my 2 cents

ithink you should just port your intake and get a throttle body you asked if it was worth the gain then the answer is no if you had a stock intake then maybe you might see 15 to 20rwhp
