My estimate is you will only realise one or two hp at the most. However you will benefit from a good torque improvement of 5-8 lbs from 4k to 5k.

I'm basing this on the fact that the principal fuelling change has been to richen up 3k to 5k.

You are in fact getting the change/improvement where it is most useful on the road, punch for overtaking.

You know what we should do... When I can finally get back down to the Dyno and do 3 more pulls (whenever they do another Dyno day with the Wilmington Subaru guys and get a discount rate), we should start a pot for bets to see who can guess the closest gains ... Maybe a new thread with a poll or something... Not sure when the new dyno day will be but I'll be sure to let everyone know so they can start the thread
