Chris, I hope it does show 5 hp improvement, but like Bill, I'm going to go on record with a guess also, different from Bill's.

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.
