You'll get all kinds of answers as to the "best" headers. I have Kooks. Almost all of them put out about the same hp which is about 25 hp on average. For a near stock car like yours, a ported Fast would add about 15 hp on average. 50% more with bolt-on cams.

30-35 whp, most major brands of headers will be within 5 hp of each other.
