Hello
Yes you will gain some hp but not only does it keep you from feeling the engine it also has the job of keeping harmonic vibrations under control.
It might only fell like alittle bit to you but it will increase wear on your crank bearings and make it harder and harder over time to rev your engine high.
It might fell like extra power now but after 60,000 miles or so your going to be hating it.
So that's what could/will happen.
(after awhile!!!)
So if you don't mind rebuilding the block every few years go for it.
Otherwise just get some power pulleys or something to feed your need for more hp.
Hope this helps some!!
C-YA!!
