Also, as cmkde mentioned, it should help at the higher boost levels with the JB4 since it'll allow more air to move through.
OP, I'm not a fan of JB4 or any other piggy back tunes. IMO, piggyback tunes are just not sophisticated enough and/or rely on unreliable sensors like the knock sensor to increase fuel, advance or retard timing when boost dials up or down. Sometimes, things go wrong and you detonate.

Here is a good video that factually describes a piggy back vs a real tune.
