He's increasing the fuel flow into the piston with his internal polishing of the injectors. You'll get more apparent power, but that's because you'll be putting more fuel in all the time. In other words, won't you just be hitting max load at a different throttle position?

Of course, you'll also get more than stock max load at WOT, so if you then play with the boost, you can get beyond stock HP before needing to diddle around with the max load setting on the IP. Has potential.
