i forget the formula but believe for every additional psi you gain 6% more horsepower however, more psi you add less efficient it becomes.

Increase from 5-10 psi, I would guess that you would yield close to 25-30% gain which is very noticeable and you won't need to rev car as high to make same power level as your current setup.

Boost is just a measure of air flow restriction, therefore you can have a car like mine for example 15 psi vs. another built car with heads and 11-12 psi and trap similiar times.

You will be yielding another 70-80 rwhp or 100 hp therefore all things being equal and you got traction should put you in high 11s.
