LT headers will really wake the car up, at least on mine it did. They are definately worth it. I haven't been to the track since the header install but I've known people to drop 4-6/10's off their old ET depending on the mods. My best guess is that you will run a 12.6-12.8 with the headers. As for dyno numbers I have seen as much as 25 HP and 30ft.lbs gains.

I had zero problems with the install of my Hooker LT's, it just took a while. No problems with clearance or banging whatsoever. The car runs better than it ever has and there was a definate butt-o-meter difference in power. I say get the Hookers or Jet-Hots depending on if you want the Jet-Hot coating or not.
