I tend to agree.
The HP isn't a big increase, but with AT the torque increase should be felt in the midrange.
Also, it's not just a matter of a "peak" HP or lb ft. increase, it's more about the actual curve and what the PPK will do to that.
It's possible the PPK will fatten up the curve and make it "flatter/more consistent" across the rev range.

It may not show up as a major shove in the seat o the pants, but it'll show itself in faster times and higher trap speeds.
I don't know, but I'm expressing wishful thinking here.
