The benefits are actually more in the mid range. Peak power may not actually increase depending on what has been done to the motor.
There is a very interesting thread about this on Performance Forums at the moment.
Go here.
This is an expensive modification as it goes hand in hand with an aftermarket ECU. Also, the full potential is really only extracted when other modifications (cams, porting, headers, etc) are performed.
