Actually it will gain you quite a bit... A good example is Grapplers (see v8s10.org) 95.. Stock CPI motor.. He dyno's it before adding anything major... PM for slips. After adding the EDELBROCK tes kit he gained 12 hp, another 4 with the larger exaust system... (including more free flowing cat).... Took us about 2 hours for the headers and 3 for the exaust system the next day. Tubular headers are much more free flowing then stock intake manifolds.
