What header? Im thinking of swapping out stock headers for some BBK or Hooker shorties. I will be installing a sleeper cam. Should I keep the stockers or buy shorties? Will the power diffrence be worth it?

well since you have an '02 you have the better of the stock manifolds compared to the '98~'99's.... a lot of people will say that it's close to worth it to go shorties if needed for those years.
since you will already be tearing it apart for a cam i couldn't hurt of course but like said you will see minimal gains in the neighborhood of 5-10rwhp at max
if that is worth the money your gonna spend than it's all up to you

you could go with mac mids. they are not as good as a LT header, but they are alot better then shorties. i noticed a nice difference when i put them on my car.
