even if my sim racing esperience is very limited (august 2017 - march 2018..) i say yes, you can improve with a better hardware, but only if you have this situations:
1) if you start from something very bad - a Gamepad, Keyboard, a non FFB Whell and you switch to any FFB whell with 900/1080 degrees the improvements are HUGE, i did that switch (Thrustmaster Red Legend 180 no ffb, to Logitech Driving Force Pro), and in cars that needs a precise drive (like the F3) i improved the times by like 2 second/track.
but itsn't your case.
2) driving style, and feel, if you have a very smooth driving style, you want the best FFB possible, my experience: in one of the car that have the best FFB with my crappy hardware, is the Porsche 911 RSR 2017, i could feel in every turn what the car was doing (especially the front grip) and it was very nice to drive knowing the limits of the car and i was fast too.
but i don't know if it's an hardware problem or a software problem, because in other cars i don't have a good tyre ffb.
so if your driving style is direct of what che car is doing, AND the G29 doesn't offer a good FFB ( i don't think..) you can improve your times.
Load Cell can help with cars without ABS / TC, and very powerful.
at the end, you can improve a little by hardware, because you already have a mid-high hardware, but the biggest improvement are from practice and setups.
see you on track
