When I was investigating headers about 12 years ago Banks would advertise about 80 HP gains for the older 460's and 454's. If I remember correctly on the newer V-10's it was about half that. I just looked at their website and could not find that number. I would call them and ask about your year V-10 and ask what the HP gains would be. When you ask the question ask them about the rpm that you drive at, most of the marketing data is at WOT and not many of us drive our MH's at that RPM.
But when you are climbing that very large hill on the road many times you can be WOT or at least 90 percent and that's where the long tube headers work the best, Banks cold air intake and exhaust system with the headers do work as stated but the HP and torque can vary.
