I think you are looking at even less of a gain than that. think more like 5-10hp. I wouldn't do this unless you can find a set el cheapo.

If you do the rings, you can pull the head and do them that way, no dropping the crank (which means no oil pump seal replacement). This would allow you to change the head gasket while you are there(when was it changed last, if ever?). Replace the timing belt at this time too and you'll have all major service covered for the next 30,000 miles, all at the same time.
