It should make the same improvement as going from stock manifolds to long tubes.

I seen a video on u tube where a sstb picked up 22hp and 10ft vs the stock manifolds . i bet you will pick up a lil more cause your cammed they also used 1-7/8 primaris vs 1-3/4 cause they where going to add nitrous later and the bigger 1-7/8 would be better for that . so they said lol here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmR14...eature=related

Gotta agree. If you think those 15-20 horses aren't worth the cost, you'll likely be let down if you actually pull the trigger on it.
