Just as an update,I have been running it for a few days now, and it certainly is stronger. Stronger and smoother, with better throttle response.
Only bummer is that it is a horsepower mod, not a torque mod. Down low, where I need the help, it really did nothing. Again, it is gearing that it killing me. These gears might have been ok on the torquier L27'*, but on the L36 they are just way too tall. I am willing to bet the move to 3.06'* would cost me nothing in fuel economy. In the Olds, the EPA showed them to be the same. I can see why. Wouldn't have to be forcing downshifts all the time to get power.
Anyhow, all grumbling aside, the P&P LIM is a good mod!

Yeah you have a Heavy C Body.... and those 2.84 gears are killing you.... The 3.06 would be perfect... I think for your application 3.33 would be a little overkill, But I have thought about it myself....
I have better throttle response, and a little more go in the low end... But it was most noticed with the improvement of 2nd gear pull...
2.84 to Firebuicks 3.05 and my 3.06 is a bit of a stretch... 2.84 is all about the fuel economy

That'* who he is over there. 
I'd be curious about those numbers too. And at what RPM.
I've made some estimates based on the known restriction area and flow (cross-sectional area) gain, but I hope you're not using my posts and estimates here to brag it up over on ClubGP.
