You should feel a decent gain. A bigger throttle body would help greatly in the process too.

Your powerband will also change and you'll tend to favor the higher RPM's.

you could get more potential power out of your mods if you get it tuned.

I added my blox intake mani on my Si w/ aem short ram, hks catback, and DC 4-2-1 header, and you can feel the gains. And yea, your powerband changes...once u hit 6k RPM, you'll love it. VTEC sounds a little deeper as well.
