The supercharger can really benefit from some decent headers. If you take a closer look at how those factory shorties are made, you'd change your opinion - they are far worse than some marginal cast iron designs I've seen on domestic V8s. An aftermarket shorty design will be better, but NOTHING beats a good longtube header in terms of overall low to high rpm power/torque adding potential. 35-40 hp/tq increase should be no problem compared to the stock manifolds.
