It all depends on how you drive it. On my LBZ I could see a little bit of a gain, but on my LLY I didn't see any gain at all. I'm a fan of AEM myself

You can get similar results from modding the stock intake by cutting holes into the front and wheelwell sides of the it and then adding a high quality after market filter and save a lot of money. Doing this mod would cost around $60 maybe even less with the right filter.

I saw IAT temps around 70* on the highway. It gets a little hot sitting still, but I dont do much driving in heavy traffic. You can really hear it and tell that it's there.
