Do a search and you will see report from 0 to 8 horses. Sponsors have dynoed about 6-8 horses. Some individuals have had a MPG increase.

Check out the high performance engines, like SLP's 422, and you will see they are running the pump.

A nice bolt on alternative after you have increased your car's breathing and exhaust first - headers, intake, cam, heads, etc.

RMS saw a 10 rwhp increase on a 346 H/C car with a 224 cam in it. The Norm seem to be 8-10 rwhp.
