Actual power gain will depend on a lot more than the valves. The port design, total valve lift, valve timing, and chamber/piston design will affect intake flow greatly. The Race-Flo or Pro-Flo valves will only minimize the restriction imposed by the valve stem in the valve bowl.

It certainly can't hurt, but I doubt that anyone will be able to attach a definite "HP gain" number to the change.
