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.
