Estimated Power Increase?

I just bought an Edkebrock performer dual plane intake, Holley 600 4 barrel, Mallory HEI Distributor, Ford Racing 9mm plug wires and some Accel U-groove plugs for my 83 F250 351W. What kind of power increase can I expect over the old crappy Variable Venturi that it had on it? All of the emissions will be gone, onlt things sucking power from the motor now will just be the accessories. I did not get all of this expecting a super jump in performance, it was to get rid of the VV. THanks in advance.

I dunno about numbers, but the seat-of-the-pants dyno should put a nice smile on your face once it's all dialed in.

Heh thts what i am hopin for, as long as i can tell a difference it makes me happy. That crappy VV didn't do that poor motor justice. I ought to find a dyno around here one day once its all buttoned up i'm curious of what it makes.
