Default Opinions on FAST lsxrt Intake

So I'm thinking about biting the bullet and getting this intake. I did a search and can only find a couple of posts. On a stock truck it made 20rwhp up top, and similar tq gains. Just want some of y'all's opinions, real world experiences, dyno graphs, etc.

The intake is going on my 2008 gmc Sierra 1500 5.3
-218/226 .595/.605 113 cam
-has the 243 heads factory but I had them milled .020"
-long tubes, CAI, 3" exhaust, stall, 4.11's, SLP ud pulley, Nelson tuned

I bought mine pretty early on and decided to check for warpage based on bgrays thread and the lower intake was warped, i sent it back to comp and they replaced it no problem, the replacement was not warped. I assume they fixed the problem, I've never had any fitment, driveability, loss of low end or tuning issues with it and i'm using a 102 tb. Been running it for a year and a half and currently running 15psi with it. All that said, imho, I didnt notice much sotp gains. Probably not worth the money to change from a nnbs intake Sorry no before or after dynos.
