What kind of power should I expect?

I have a stock LG4 Comp controlled car and was going to be doing a few mods to it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

World Tourqer 305 Heads
Comp XE262
Edelbrock Performer (with EGR)
Hedman Headers

I'll be using the QJet for emissions and I know that the Performer will restrict some power but it has to pass emissions for the next 4 years. After that it's getting an AirGap and a Holley with true dual exhaust.

I don't mean to pick on just u, and I know I haven't been around too long(on the board), but the "How much power do I have" thread is really getting on my nerves. Again, this is toward noone specific, but for goodness sake, either take it to a dyno(not available to everyone, I know), a 1/4 strip, or hell, mark your own 1/4 with your trip odometer and have a friend time u. Then, use some equations, and presto, instant power rating. Then you'll know and not have to rely on "bench racing".
Just had to vent, sorry it was your post.

14X3 o.e., functional formula hood(for sale in future), uhhh..., umm...

Am I the only person who believes a car has feelings, emotions, and a soul??

Iwould recommend a full catback, you dont need dual exhaust.

Instead of getting a bunch of "HP and TORQUE" numbers from a thousand people, test the car yourself or go buy this software for your computer: DESKTOP DYNO. Mr. Gasket makes it...JEG'S(my favorite store) and SUMMIT Racing stock them. I'd even be willing to bet your local speed-shop carries a copy or two! Have fun.
