Default Worth buying?

Ok so i have a 95 eg sedan with an LS swap. It has I/H/E and staged clutch, i was thinking about getting a hondata intake mani. gasket since i have like 50 bucks to spend. My question is would it be worth getting? or is there anything else i could buy for around 50-70 bucks that will increase performance. Thanks alot!

from what I have read on the hondata intake gaskets, they are supposed to be dyno proven to give you like 7hp...

How exactly does an intake manifold gasket result in any kind of horsepower increase?

The hondata gasket blocks the heat from the head so basically your blocking the heat transfer from the head to the manifold colder manifold= colder air = more power

it wont make your manifold ice cold but it will lower temps
