Ordered Headers Yesterday...Couple Questions

I ordered a set of pacesetter headers (race) and offroad y-pipe yesterday, but have just a few questions. I know codes for the 02 sensors and air pump will be thrown, but should I expect any other codes? I'm not gonna bother wiht 02 sims cause I'm gonna get the car tuned and have those codes programed out.

Also, what kind of power do you think I'll pick up w/these headers and a tune? The way the car sits now, its making 322/338 and running pretty rich. I'm expecting to pick up 20 horsepower, maybe a bit more w/the headers and tune? Sound about right?

Finally, what kind of ET and MPH should I expect out of these things? My guess is the car will go 12.3 @ 113, but a few people keep telling me they think the car may go low 12's @ 115....currently, the car is going 12.57 @ 111.

Any input on the matter?

20hp after the tune is probably realistic.

hard to tell, all cars seem to react different.

No other codes should be thrown.

20-25rwhp is definitely possible. I doubt you'd pick up 4mph though (that's quite a bit). In good weather, I could see your car going 12.20s @ 113 (maybe 114).

Will do...I was hoping for the headers to get here today, guess they'll be here early next week. Then just gotta wait for this god awful florida weather to drop a couple degrees so I can pull off some good times...but I'll definitely keep everybody up to date as to how the car runs.
