newbie needs some advice

Hi.I just bought a 78 F250 supercab 4x4 with a 400 engine.The truck has a edelbrock performer intake and a edelbrock 4 barrel carb.My question is what HP does a 78 400 have?What difference does the edelbrock carb and intake have over a stock ford part?What HP would the motor have now with the edelbrock parts?Im changing cabs on the truck also.I plan to put headers too.What might the gear ratio be? Im new to older fords so any help would be great. Thanks Paul
