its mainly for a more reliable engine but it will also give you a small amount of power increase. I know mine was hauling bass on sunday and temping 230-240

A slight increase in power, but more importantly, a smoother powerband and more reliability.

Pretty much the same performance. The primary advantage is the carb's ability to hold a stable tune.
