It is more than likely not going to be a very noticable difference. The claim is because you would be lowering rotating mass, this should allow the bike to rev faster, but I doubt you will lose enough mass to see a difference. I always heard you would have a power gain from an oring to a standard chain, but then I found out the consequnces, wears out faster and only like maybe 1/4 hp.
