Not 100% sure of the specs as they are not officialy public. This however is what I found after a quick forum search here for the specs.

235/245 @ .050, 642/608, 111 LSA

While I agree that headers will make a power difference, I find it hard to believe that there would be a signifigant enough restriction to cause engine damage. I can understand a 500 inch carb. motor with huge overlap having a big enough problem to cause what you described (I had a 406 sbc with enough overlap that without a race carb it would overscavenge the cylinder and run lean with a 1050 dominator jetted so rich the car wouldn't even idle). Were using a car with a carb. relying on a fuel metering from boosters and juts to a programmed, fuel injected car tuned for this particular setup. That's a little apples to oranges don't ya think. I know you are light years beyond me when it comes to these car, but do you really think I will hurt the motor because I don't have headers with a big cam?
