Default Power gains from headers alone???

i've searched for some power numbers on jba shorty headers alone with no luck. only numbers i've seen with these headers has been with a combination of many other mods. i read that sound is nicely improved but anybody got numbers?

Never seen any numbers with headers alone either. *lightbulb* Somebody should start a sticky with confirmed dyno gains from certain mods and mod combos...!

still no feedback on this? 5-8 hp/trq has been thrown around before so i guess this is roughly the expected gain.

You are probably looking for NA #'s, which I have heard are between 3-8rwhp, but I can't answer for sure.
I have dyno'ed my car on the PH mustang dyno before and right after JBA shorties and picked up 16rwhp/18rwtq with the turbo.

Nice #'s! What psi were you running? And what would you guess as an estimated rangegain on all f/i applications? Thanks ahead!
