I have read on other posts that the throttle bodies make a noticable difference in power. The Ram air hood won't add really anything over what you make with the home made induction. The hood will help with the times because it should lighten up the front of the truck. Weight reduction is just as good as hp when it comes to racing. Since you have other breathing mod done might cut .2 off your times and gain 2mph with the mods. As for 0-60 times, considering that the TB addes mostly in the top end you might see only a little difference, but the improvement you'll see will be from the hood and better weight transfer(traction)off the line.
