Not a ton, but it still appeared to pull a peak of slightly less than 4" at WOT just before the shift; If you put it on 1080p and make it full screen you can read the gauge fairly well (you can see it better in the second part).

My point was that although there may a little peak HP to be gained by going to a (slightly) larger carb setup, the gains wouldn't really show up unless you were winding it up pretty tight.
