I think 10 hp is a bit much to expect, maybe in conjunction with other mods.

The t-stat also affects fuel mixture. The engines runs richer until it is
warmed up then it balances out. Since the Engine temp barely or rarely
reaches 195 most people change to a 180 t-stat. I guess this also helps w/
the hp. Something like 10hp is a possible gain... I don't know... I have yet
to spend the $10 to get one.
Just my view on the topic
