I didn't do any before and after dyno's so I can't give you a definite answer. That being said, Randall at Synergy who installed the intake told me that he thought it should add to the horsepower as it is considerably less restrictive than the stock intake.
Since I never drove this GT3 on the track prior to installing the Cup intake, I don't have personal reference either.
Sorry I don't have a more precise answer.

I drive them on the street. Loud on the street. Great when hot and sunny. They wear better than Cups, but that's not saying a lot. When it's cold, they are very very hard and slick... but not like, well, slicks. On cold track days, I still use these instead of the Dunlop slicks. Mine aren't lasting very long, but that could be because I slide through every right angle that I can find. We video a lot of street driving at night (no flames, please) and the tires pay the price.

That is a correct observation on your part. You need to find a Porsche race shop that has an account with Porsche Motorsports, who is able and willing to get parts for you.
The second big task is installing and mating the air intake with the existing stock MAF. Once again a real good race shop would come in handy for this task. I was lucky enough to have Kerrigan with Synergy Racing take care of all these details for me.
