None at all. Now on a carbed motor there is a gain. However, I have heard they make a cool whooshing sound! If you want to change the intake, go with a CAI (Cold Air Intake) or make your own

Instead of a spacer, perhaps you might want to get a ported throttle body. I don't have one yet but great reviews from this forum

I assume CAI first then the ported TB, right guys?

Like said above they are a waste of money on our trucks. Don't know if you visit D/D but alot of guys tried them out a couple of years ago and were very disapointed.
