Depends on whats done... A H/C car would gain more than a bolt on brotherin. Save it for when you're (if) you're goine H/C. Otherwise you're wasting your money.

Benefit is part-throttle response, not WOT hp. I've had it done on all the LS1's I've had for that reason. You won't see anything at the track, but driveability is improved.
