Assuming that the newer version could flow more (which I have no idea if it does or not) it wouldn't increase power unless your existing one was already not putting out enough at the correct pressure. The injection pump puts out metered amount with each stroke of an element. Without increasing the size of the elements (and thus the amount of fuel delivered) no more power can be made. This is a moot point however since you have the non turbo version of the car, so even if you tuned the pump for more fuel, it wouldn't burn it because of lack of air.

Best thing to do if you want the maximum your engine can give is to check timing chain stretch and compensate for it with a woodruff key on the cam if necessary, make sure your pump timing is correct, and have the injectors tested for patter/flow/balence (odds are by this point they need rebuilding)
