It depends on the amount of buildup you have. After never being cleaned for 62k miles, I did feel quicker throttle response and a smoother feeling accelerator pedal. I went all the way into the intake manifold to deep clean it and the acis as well. Simple maintenance like this dosent add power, it just prevents loss.
