C32 Dyno Graph Comparison

Just my real world experience,

BHP increase is going to be relative to the weight of the car in terms of how you're going to feel the increase, a 50bhp increase on a car weighing 1000kgs will be very noticeable compared to a car at 1500+kgs. Throttle response and mid range torque can be felt but again it's negligible, put a stock and tuned C32 side by side and sprint to 100mph and the difference 50bhp makes to a car weighing 1500kgs isn't going to be as much as you would think.

As a very old drag racer, I would disagree...

The additional 50HP on the same weight car would be at least a six car length advantage in the 1/4 mile.

Even on say a Range Rover sport.........Or a Hummer??

Weight doesn't matter as long as you are comparing the same weight and relatively same spec vehicle accelerating from a standing start under the same ambient conditions.
Basic physics: amount of power required to move a known mass a fixed distance at a known finish speed

Old drag/street racing "rule of thumb":

Every additional 10HP = .1+ faster ET.
.1 better ET = 1+ car length.
