Found it.

Looks like the intake is well worth it on a track car that sees higher RPM. But with the power loss down low it's probably better for a street car to just run a good upper and keep the PI lower manifold.

I'm just wondering how much of a gain it is over the stock lower PI intake if you have a nice accufab upper and tb.

The dyno graph on the MM&FF article is really the only comparison that ive seen the street burner vs. stock PI intake. Every other test that Ive seen is vs the Edelbrock or the Track Heat. It looks like down low in the rpms the Street Burner is right with the PI, the curves are right next to eachother, and mid range the Street Burner gains a few hp, then in the high rpms the Street Burner pulls about 18 peak hp over the PI, and thats on a blower car. It would probably be lower on an N/A car IMO. Id just be really nervous to spend $900 plus money for a tune to get 3-4 hp on my N/A setup. Ive been down that road before with another aftermarket intake manifold, so Im leary to dump another $1,000+ just to experiment...
