You will see gains without doubt...what's he's pointing to is the fact that longtubes on LS series engines have always been worth 30+ RWHP.
I doubt you're going to see that large of a gain on the 5.0 when the factory suppiled manifold is light years ahead of the OEM LS3 manifold.
Ya see what we're sayin
