Apparently, some expect that miracle.

One thing that needs to be said here that many people with the header and tune don't want to say is that this car is still slow and will stay slow with any mod short of FI.

The OP is asking "will I feel it"? And my answer is "no". Header and tune will not help making this car fast. Is there a 0-60 improvement posted that I missed? But modifying the car is fun as a hobby. I can't argue with that.
You can feel header and tune. But nothing compared to a turbo car. Is it worth the money, I can see both arguments. Modding is a bit of a disease, but I feel that I am pretty objective. For example, I would not do Crawford blocks again too much work for a small benefit.

One example is after my header and tune I was chirping all season tires a lot more than stock. Some small evidence of more torque. Not scientifically proven either. 😊
