bad KS-- how much of a loss?

Ive gotten the old 0304 code several times, and i know i need to replace it.. im planning on doing it when i get the VI, do it all at once. My question is how much HP and gas mileage could i be losing???

I got the 0304 code on my 95 auto. When I finally replaced my ks the added horsepower was very noticeable. I would say 10 - 15 hp???

It's a real noticeable loss. When my KS went, throttle response was terrible--as if there was turbo lag.....

I have the 0304 code too. I noticed a drop about 4mpg. And like ChiTown says it feels like turbo lag. I'm waiting for my knock sensor to arrive so I can get my power and fuel efficiency back
