not much without good heads and cam plus it might kill your low end until matted with a nice cam and heads . also if you did do the intake and tb you wouldnt need bigger injectors.

sorry if this wasnt wha toyu wanted to hear

Tell you what Gungfu, I'm stalling a Cobra intake and FMS 65mm TB on my near stock 5.0 in the next week or so. I'll get it dynoed afterwards and see what I got out of it. I'm putting out 216 rwhp right now.

with a new intake u dont need new injectors..what the hell are u talking about?...and u will so feel a difference with an intake..even without heads...i would also get a mass air meter to go with it b/c the air will be getting restricted b4 it even gets to the TB....but u will feel a definitely noticable difference...my friend has a car with all bolt ons and stock heads (not positive, they might be ported) and its still a beast...just cause u dont have heads doesnt mean u wont gain power/not feel a difference...also if u do take teh advice and do the mass air also...then go and upgrade to 24# injectors..not 100% necessary but it will save u some money in teh future (b/c if u dont upgrade injectors then, when u do in the future u will have to have the MAS recalibrated.)
