And that assumes you have an OBD1 car or you can't even get the upgraded ECU. 
But I think the HP gain has to be higher than 30HP. Wasn't there a guy in Germany that got his modestly upgraded NA SVX up to about 172MPH? If you assume that the stock top speed is 158MPH and that top speed scales with the square root of HP (I can't recall if that is correct), the HP calculates out to 272.5HP. If stock top speed is 155MPH, the HP calculates out to be 283.2HP. The HP gain is probably closer to 50HP. It makes that engine in CT putting out around 400HP that much more amazing.
