Headers usually result in (on average) around a 15-20HP/15-20TQ increase when mated to a decent-flowing cat-back - more if you have additional supporting modifications (CAI, 1.6 rockers, valvetrain work, etc.). Those numbers in a perfect world would result in anywhere from .1 to .3 ET reduction.

Expect about a 22 horsepower increase and a track time of 13.7-13.9, don't forget to get it tunes and keep you spark plug wires away from the headers.
