I was just wondering how would the performance be will the car still give me good Hp or any issues
Adding the headers later I might have to run it at the 1/4 without the headers tho

You should see between 455 and 457 HP at the wheels, but it could vary a bit if the E85 isn't exactly 85% Ethanol. Sometimes it is more like E 60 even though they label it as E85.

Haven't had mine to track since mods
Mines an m7 with
Halltech cai
Katech tb
Fasterproms ported manifold
Arh catless headers
Akra exhaust
E85
Put down 472/482
I'd say with the cam you should bring that range without the headers

If a cam gives me let's say minimum 50whp
E85 say 20hp also ported intake and tb
20hp
I was thinkin more like 485 to 500hp

In my view, you buy headers for a C7 because you like the sound. Headers provide minimum gains on the C7. The stock C7 Cam has a pretty good design. I'd rather put my money towards a Supercharger. More bang for the buck and you don't have to open the engine. YMMV
I do have LT's because the C7 sounds a little wimpy to me with the stock manifolds and the twin cats.

header install was a joke. I just had someone else do it
To the OP, you may get into the 10's with your planned setup but there is a lot we don't know. M7 or A6/8? Drag radials? One of the biggest helps on the 1/4 mile is drag radials for the C7.

Yup, not remotely close to the LT's though. At least not at ~700 RWHP
