Think of it more in terms of gravity. It looks like that kit has an OG of 1.052, so you're looking at adding approximately 2.5-5 gravity points using the syrup. I'm not sure how much cane syrup adds, so that's something to determine.
ETA: And you will have to adjust for your system's efficiency as well. I want to say AHB assumes 65% or 70% efficiency on their all-grain recipes.

I agree with the 10 minute addition

Gotcha, I'm not really into precise calculations when I brew. I usually just add a little of this and a little of that and hope for the best. I'll go with a pound and see where that takes me. I'll be sure to post my results.

I would use the SG of honey (1.040) as a starting point for my calculations.
So I would assume that every 1 lb of cane syrup would give me 40 gravity points. Divided that 40 by the number of gallons left after the boil and that will be the expected boost to your OG.
If you typically have 6 gallons left after boil. 1 lb of cane syrup will boost your OG almost 7 points.
