I'm probably mis-remembering, but... I thought SS had also but in a new cam to get those numbers.
I'd be interested to see dyno numbers for:
bone stock
3:1 short tube headers (stock head)
3:1 long tube headers (stock head)
port matched/polished efi manifolds (stock head)
I have my doubts that headers are going to show enough of a difference (for the cost) when compared to the efi manifolds. I could be wrong.

The numbers in my sig were generated with headers, full MSD, 3.8 rockers, and 19 lb injectors. The numbers with just the headers were within 1-2 hp and 1-2 ft-lb at peak. The MSD did nothing, the 19 lb injectors did nothing, the rockers increased output considerably on the back side of the peaks, but didn't change the peaks significantly. Also, when I say the ignition and injectors did nothing, I mean they did nothing on the dyno. They did improve throttle response which definitely feels like something in the seat of your pants and can mean something on the race track.
We're supposed to get above freezing today, but just barely. I think they said 34 degrees. Our major highways are clear, but nobody here can drive so the cleared they get the slower traffic is. City streets are mostly passable. Neighborhood streets are like an ice rink. I was about screwed twice this morning, but was able to back into a curb at moderate speed and generate enough momentum to get going.
We are absolutely not prepared for what we have since it happens so rarely. There are still about 20k people without power, thankfully I'm not one of them because we ran out of fire wood last weekend. We're forecast to get 8-10 inches of snow this weekend to cover up all the ice. Wonderful. We've been declared a federal disaster area, so I'll probably end up getting called out to help with some form of disaster relief.
