So unless you are building the head with cams, valves, and springs to rev to 8k+ and maybe getting an ace 150header for a high revving NA beast. Not sure decreasing intake runner length would have any positive effect.
Seems like you are essentially paying 2,000$ + tuning costs for slightly quicker throttle response and the sound associated from ITBs.
But I would love to be proven wrong. If this shows a solid 10whp increase from at least 4500-7500rpm then I am sold. Just don’t see how it’s possible.

Benefits would probably include throttle response and more mid range torque.
Most of these systems will be used with some sort of manifold so any runner length tuning effects would probably be minimized.
If this gives a flatter torque curve with peaks of 180ftlbs or close it would definitely, IMO, be worth it.
I would love to see if there are any HP gains to be had with Cams and these ITB's.
