Hard to pinpoint the improvement in performance. When I got the car back together in January the CIS was not set to spec. and the vacuum unit was shot. Timing was advanced 3 degrees I think.
Car was FAST. Big red boost. Horrible gas mileage. Now with all the setups to spec (to keep ping/knock in control) and the parts fixed the big boost is tamed.
The intercooler install is not too difficult. Most trouble is to relocate the oil cooler. Upper radiator hose is a bit of a bear to get at unless you remove the a/c compressor. Must move oil cooler to get path for airflow through intercooler. Of course the air box is right behind the intercooler so it's debatable how much air really flows through there. I've read postings about fans. Seems like a good idea. Also water injection is an option.
Good luck with whatever you do.
