Default Mid length header?

I bought some Macs and ORYP what kind of hp/tq would I be gaining? I am also planning on a 224/224 .581/.581 LSA 114 cam in about a month what hp/tq should I expect. I dynoed 324/339 with just a lid at 17,000 miles. I also bought LS1edit for the tuning side of things.

You should see a 20/20 increase without the cam. I'll tell you this...that cam is gonna beg for long tubes. It'll work with mid-lengths but it'll scream with LT's.
