    You might pick up a bit here and there in the power curve if you tailor the advance mechanism to the engine's needs. Just dropping it in will probably make little diff.

    You should notice easier cold starting and warm-up. I would expect no gains on the top end.

    might also expect better fuel efficiency at low/cruise rpms.... no appreciable power gains
