Trick #1--get the car into good stock working condition. Like Aaahndy said.

Trick #2--get a real header, not the Bursch collector and muffler. Something like the Kerry Hunter, European Racing, or Tangerine Racing headers. They ain't cheap. You'll need a lot of muffler for them to make them streetable, too. The best of the lot would be the Tangerine Racing Super Header with the Phase 9 exhaust and "quiet can".

You may need to tweak the fuel pressure or tweak the other possible adjustments on the injection after you install the header. A dyno with wideband O2 would be the best way to find out what you need to do.
