Header gains w S/C?
Ok, so I know that most headers don't do much, or at most add a few hp in the midrange of the powerband. However, I've seen it said several times that "Headers don't give you good gains unless you are S/C". So, what kind of gains DO you get with headers alone on a FI vehicle?
An extra 15, 20 hp? more? less?
Anyone have a dyno before and after a header install on a car that was previously supercharged?
Since most headers actually LOSE power on the extreme top end, aren't you kind of shooting yourself in the foot putting aftermarket headers on a car that (with a S/C) is all about really maximizing top end power?

I've never dynoed my car so these are only my "impressions".
I also have the Toda header, one of the most expensive on the market. After I put it on my Vortech engine, I felt nothing. In fact, I "felt" more of a gain when I took the cat off.

No dyno either, but I did notice a difference when adding a Mugen header and exhaust, together. But that could've been as much the combo of weight loss and hp than just hp.
