LG Pros are the best headers for Vettes. Maybe take a look at them before you pull the trigger. Headers will definitely help and I would guess 20-25hp with a tune. A lot of $$ but then you already have it out of the way when you wanna mod more down the road.

Congrats on seeing the light and leaving the dark side

With the X-pipe and tune about 30 or so. X pipe is the way to go its what they use in Nascar. It creates a nice suction which sucks exshust from your motor alot faster then what Y-pipes and 2 seprate pipes would. Its more of a physics thing. I know for my car the whole exshust set with instlation and a tune would be about $1,100.
