You should be looking at ~ 20Hp (crank) depending on the set-up. Is that noticeable? Yes, very, since that's about a 20% increase in power.

As far as risks and things to watch out for, just make sure to get all of hte information you can BEFORE starting and have all of the parts and tools that you will need. A Hayne's or Helms is a must and if you have any questions make sure to get them answered before hand. You dont want to be waiting for a response on a forum when your car is in pieces.

Edit: specifically, on certain set-ups you need a different dizzy, cam gear and maybe even mix n' match head bolts. Look into these things and have them all at hand before the valve cover even comes off.
