Ive seen dyno runs that show a little HP and TQ improvment.....it makes sense, the cooler the carb, the cooler the gas, the better the performance.

It depends on your particular combo. Some are worth nothing, some are worth 5 or less hp, some are worth 5 or less TQ. Never seen one hurt tho. If you have hood room, I say go for it.

That's the rub with 3rd gens, you can't fit them under the hood.
