Smile 96 HP performance: Normal vs. Power

what are the performance specs for both these settings? i can definately feel the difference between the 2. i know for a fact that power mode shifts gears at a higher RPM, and faster (as the manual says). but i've did research and cannot find the HP for both and the difference. i have a 1996

You don't gain Horsepower from pushing Power.

I think you are experiencing different shift points, not increase in hp.

No, it holds the gear longer before the shift for a more sporty drive. It doesn't make your car any faster really.
