The LSx motors respond really well to better air flow. Anything you can do to help get air in and exhaust out will give you better numbers. Longtubes are a great mod for a stock car but you will get even more out of them when you install cam/heads, nitrous, etc. You can expect anywhere from 10 to 30 rwhp with the headers depending on the car and others mods you have done. More air in + more exhaust out = more efficient motor = more power. Good luck. I'd go with FLP or LG. I've also been hearing good things about Kook's.
