I dont know if they give you any power as much as they give you better air flow, allowing you to add fuel and thus, more air to make more power.

i can tell you we put a stock head on the flow bench at work and nothing over stock lift increases air flow on a STOCK head. so if its not ported i would say no. it will give you quicker spool so power will come on sooner but flow went down over stock lift. again on a STOCK head unported

Pretty much what mprmn08 says you will get quicker spool your drive pressures will increase as well. They are keeping the exhaust valve open longer in most case to add more flow to the turbo.

Your truck will run cleaner and you may be able to run a larger turbo.

I am in the process of working out drive pressure issues right now but the truck picked up .60 in the 1/4 mile and it was much hotter out then my last run.

The truck runs much cleaner off idle then it ever did turbo lights almost right away.
