No one can feel 2-3HP. Not even 10HP. I don't care what they say! Of course, you spend several hundreds on a part...you'll want to justify that purchase by saying and even convincing yourself that you "feel" a difference. With the 8, this is not so. Suspension upgrades, you'll feel. But not so much HP upgrades sans F/I. Especially since it will be primarily past 6-7k RPM. If it was 20HP at 3.5k RPM, then you may feel it. But what you feel is not HP but torque. If you want more torque, go F/I or change the gearing in the rear diff. That'll add pep towards the bottom end...
With intake and the 8, at most, you'll notice some extra MPH at extreme wot and about 5 miles of long, straight, open, road...

Is there any problems at all with the REVi dropping low end torque? I had the HKS RS Reloaded for two days and the low end torque dropped considerably. I believe the problem there was its completely unsealed design, the air just wasn't being channeled properly. And I say this because I did a test by using spacers to push the stock intake box back so that it became unsealed from the VFAD, and low end torque noticeably suffered as a result. Being the REVi has a larger mouth that's not sealed against the VFAD, I'm kinda concerned about the torque.

That thing was a bitch to install (REVi). Ive never heard of an intake where you have to remove the front clip and bumper supports to install. All and all though, Im glad we got it done.
