headers are the worst possible mod you can do on a 3800.
What AFR/timing are you having problems with? High compression stuff might want to see 13-14 degrees on a setup like this.
First, Why are headers terrible?
Second, My solution was to use eddies table modifier to lower timing as a band-aid until i can get the exhaust flowing more.
