The actual power increase is minimal. The ultimate goal is to richen the
mixture slightly to avoid detonation, burned valves and melted pistons.

If you have a digitool hooked up when the full throttle switch is made up,
you will see the volts from the 02 sensor go from .5 or so,  to .8 or so.
This shows a slightly richer mixture for more power.
