Yeah, every car is different enough that you won't know unless you do a before and after dyno run. Manufacturer claims are based on what their particular car did, it's not definitely what you will have, either.

Re: actual power gains
Probably next to nothing. New cars are tuned much better, and are much smarter then their older counterparts. They are making the best of what they have.
By changing the flow characteristics of the engine, you very well could have even lost useable power. The tuning no longer fits the car. It may feel "faster" but often times this is just a lump in the power curve caused by the modified parts.
Get that thing on the dyno and have it reflashed. All your horsepower gains are still locked up.
