You will gain some power, mostly hp not as much torque, but your gains will increase dramatically if you open up te exhaust as well either with some headers and/or a cat-back. Remember though, if you can't do both cat-back first then headers and if you're looking for torque go long tube headers but if its top end hp go shorties. An upgraded ignition system will also give you a little power but a ton of tune ability. Another thing that would really help would be a computer reprogrammer/flasher and if in the budget a custom dyno tune, make sure they tune fuel as well as spark timing (most places just do fuel).
