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.

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.
