Your question is best answered by Tracy; however, if I remember Tracy’s literature correctly, he went
from an estimated 160 hp (with Mikuni carbs) to an estimated 180 hp with his
first implementation of EFI … if these numbers are correct then it’s
180 / 160 or about 12.5% increase.

promise - carb vs EFI
I still never got an answer to my original
question; how much more power comes from EFI vs. carb? or is
it a case that efi is just better tuned at all rpms since it has so
many easily controllable parameters? does efi produce an optimum mixture
and finer fuel droplets that can't be matched by the carb? if it does
produce more complete burning and efficiency, how much? I hear these type
stmts, but never numbers. are we talking 5%, 10%, 20%?
