Headers question? Need opinions

I am getting ready to install my Supersprint header, and from my past experiences the car is going to run rich, and prolly will lose some power. I am planning an MTH tuner file, what other options do I have?

Will the car definately run rich after installation of a header? So that'd constitute as a MTH upgrade then?

I just installed my OBX (Supersprint copy) last week and didnt notice a loss of power, quite the opposite. Even my wife noticed. I am getting the MTH tuner file next week though so I can let know the results then.

I wasn't really impressed with the header alone but when I got my new tune it felt a lot better! I'll have my car on the dyno in a week...I'll be sure to post results...good or bad lol -- Johan
