this is what's frustrating - to say "a chip makes 8 hp" is misleading - in reality it likely makes more in some areas and less in others - people tend to focus on peak hp, and that's not necessarily the real story
there are plenty of charts out there - i'll see if i can dig them up - i have a lot more 968 charts than i do 944 charts - autothority had them up on their site for years though - weltmeister too - i'm sure the newer guys have charts too - as an example, the 944 max chip shows an AVERAGE of 5-6 gain, (their chart is on the lindsey site) - the frwilk chart (also out there on the web) shows about 6-9 gain over a pretty wide area too - i downloaded both of those
the problem is that most people don't know how to control the conditions of a dyno test - heck, most of them run on dynojets, and those things are nearly worthless
as a part of a chip shootout test i conducted for a magazine, on chips for the 968, i consulted with steve dinan, who worked on many of the earlier 944 chips, and he said the same thing about output gains - he actually wrote a 20 page paper on how most people have no clue on how to test things - there are a lot of things involved, and generally skipped, in conducting a controlled comparison test
