Default Edelbrock top end kit

Does this kit really put out those numbers? (367 horsepower and 340 ft/lbs) I have a 289 ford with everything but the performer heads and it run's strong. How would the performer heads compare with the heads on my 289 now? The heads came off a 289 4v out of a 1965 mercury comet. Also my 289 is bored .30 over and has a set of headman headers. I'm thinking about possibly buying a 347 stroker kit also.... The bottom end kit and this top end kit would work well I suppose?

i have Performer RPM heads and they're right on par if not better than the AFR 165's (larger runners also) and you can open them up, plus you can get 2.02's instead of the smaller that the 165's have. if you're going to 347 don't get the 165's.
