Figuring out the percentage of flow where you would see a gain is kind of hard. To get the maximum gain you would simply replace your entire EGR flow with the inert gas.

The link below has some formulas (in the blue text) where you could come up with numbers if you were able to figure out what you changed the specific heat ratio to.

In general it won't help at full power.
