Recommend you read Camaro Now. All the header manufacturers advertise there. From what I see Texas Speed says 25HP for their long tubes and if you add the rest of the exhaust, 35. BBK says 12-16 and 30+ for the whole kit. Kooks says 40+ for their whole kit of Long tubes. ARH says 10RWHP for shortys. That should give you an idea. Match that with more cold air on the intake side and you should be looking at 10 to 50 HP if the claims are true.

Shorties are good for 8 -12 at best. Longs can be worth around 20 - 24 at the tope end or as much as 33 at peak.

There are many threads on this subject.

You are in a V6 section so much of what you listed won't apply to this situation.
