You will most likely see a DECREASE of HP on the dyno (depending on the dyno setup). The reason for this because you are using a torque multiplication the RPM is met faster before the horsepower actually has a chance to overcome the rotational mass, which is the dyno itself. I guess it's kinda like it revs up too fast and the horsepower is used in keeping it spinning.

Usually it's a 1-5 rwhp loss
