Yes, it's like a horsepower gain after installing the mod. But only at higher speeds. Negligible power benefit at very low speeds.

Your estimated change in power at 60 MPH will have almost zero effect on 0-60 time, but a measureable effect on highway MPG. And a larger effect on top speed, and acceleration at high speeds.
