The real answer is no answer. There are very few back to back header tests on the same car so data is limited. Do some searching and look at the curves. I did a back to back with my car (well six months apart) with a different set of headers and put my current set back on within a week of the dyno. Never put the curve up because it would cause a sh#% storm.
