    Will I notice a nice power increase with coated pace setter headers with no cat or u bend? I know headers made a huge difference on my lt1 z28 but we aren't comparing apples to apples here.
    Anything less than WOT you will likely find a loss of lowend torque after adding headers without any other performance mods. You may alos notice a decrease in fuel economy with the loss of lowend tq.

    CAI for sure. Your car will feel/be slower because you will loose some of your bottom end.
