i bought 6 little cans of por, a gallon of cleaner, and a gallon of metal prep, when i did my floors, i had 2 little cans left over,...so i am using it on stuff like this,...it is no heavier then regular paint,..its only one coat put on with a roller,..i dont think its adding much weight at all,...and i am making up for it by the 1234 pounds of undercoating i have scraped from the car and the dirt removed,..haha,...i love this stuff and have had GREAT results with it,..and i am not worried about weight with a 4000 pound car,..now if it was my sti, that would be a different story,...

you might be looking at the same power level as a new GT so maybe 250 to the wheels 310 maybe at the crank. I dont know your cam specs though so its only a guess. by the way i noticed your running stock rockers, I have some brand new sbfcomp cams roller rockers id be willing to let go at a 1/3 of the price, bought them 1/2 off when a parts store went under but im currently not running any 302/351w motors.
.
This is a brand new Edelbrock #2091 Ford 289-302Power Package Top End Kit,367 HP.
E11-2091
The Edelbrock Total Power Package is a concept that we pioneered in the 1980s that provides you with performance-matched components designed and engineered to work together as a package. This dyno-proven combination ensures that you have everything you need to meet your performance goals with proven results.
To make things easier in the parts selection process, we have taken the Total Power Package to the next level by actually placing the power package components together under a single part number. That's rightthe Edelbrock Power Package Top End Kits provides proven performance in one box, without the guesswork.
Each kit includes: intake, heads, cam & lifters (except roller lifters), head & intake bolt kits, a complete gasket set as well as a timing chain and gear set. Push rods and rocker arms not included. Simply finish the system with the Edelbrock carburetor that best matches your application.
INCLUDES:
[ul][*][align=left]#7122 - Performer RPM Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam & Lifters[/align][*][align=left]#60229 (2) - Performer RPM Cylinder Heads, Complete[/align][*][align=left]#6991 - Timing Cover Gasket & Seal Set[/align][*][align=left]#7364 - Cylinder Head Gasket Set[/align][*][align=left]#7521 - RPM Air-Gap 302 Intake Manifold[/align][*][align=left]#8524 - Intake Manifold Bolt Kit[/align][*][align=left]#8552 - Cylinder Head Bolt Set[/align][*][align=left]#7820 - Performer-Link Timing Set[/align][/ul]
i was hoping for al ittle more power then 250? no,...

HAHA!!! Busted...nice recovery though. Just kidding with you guys. If I wouldn't have just started a business, I would be posting up progress pics. Fortunately and unfortunately, I am investing money into something that hopefully will pay me back. Then I will get to build my car.
