Apples to apples (same thing in both motors) I'd say ~7% increase (same as
displacement bump)

My 3.2L made more torque at mid/low rpm than a same BOS 3.0L engine, but
both engines were making the same torque from about 6000 rpm on.  Which
tells me the cams/intake, etc are a cork for all out top end HP on anything
bigger than 183 CI.

Thus to answer your question, a 3.2L going from stock, to a better breathing
head/cam/runner is going to probably "wake up" more than a 3.0L would.
