I don't think you will notice or care unless it's an all out race motor. My setup on a 10psi street tune only makes ~450hp to the tire. I was driving Saturday and I floored it to get around an 18-wheeler going 60 in a 70. I let it run through second gear and when I looked down, the speedo said 106..

The point is, theres a 50hp difference between 10psi and 14psi for me, but I can't feel it or use it on the street. Most of my full throttle stabs are less than three seconds because I've either blown the tires off and the truck is sideways or I've gained 40mph.
