gains with more compression?

What kind of gains could one expect with say half a point more compression? Is there a formula or a percentage that can determine the increase? Just trying to get an idea if 10rwhp is optomistic.

Thanks

So 400 hp motor...

400 * 4 = 16hp

Half of that would be 8hp so yes close to my estimated 10 hp

Thanks
