Training vs racing setups - real world speed diffrence

I am curious about other’s experiences regarding the impact of their race day gear. Unscientific for sure, but what MPH difference do you expect to see with race wheels, aero helmet, skinsuit, etc

On average I tend to pickup 1.5 MPH from the following: box rims to disc and deep front, Aero helmet, skinsuit or trisuit instead of jersey.

The “whoosh” of my disc is worth at least 17 HTFU points, which I’d equate to about 30 newtonsecondmeterwatts.
