yea and your really not loosing any, your just not gettin the full pontential out of the one thats on there. And I would say 5-10 would be a fair estimate

You should look at it as how much power will you gain.

True, I cant gve a number, But its not lik you have a fast 90 intake, so it may not be that much. The dyno guys said that you would pick up 15 rwhp with a fast 90/90 combo over an ls6 intake/ stock TB. That was with my cam only motor so maybe you would get 20 outof it at most. Having sad that, 5 RWHP sounds good. 10 would be great.

It's worth doing and its a great bang for your buck mod. Felt like it helped with throttle response as well if you get all the little tricks done, ie. bump stop mod

might as well just save up and get the 90/90 combo when you can instead of throwing money at the stocker because that will give you some good power and you will need it or should I say, it would really help if you add anything else to the car. After doing heads and cam, it is a good time for the 90/90 setup but when is it never a good time to install new parts....
