Headers Or No Headers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am contemplating putting on a set of Hooker 2454's on my '72 402-powered C-20 2wd truck.
I have dual exhausts now with the stock iron manifolds. I am running a mild Comp Cams XE252 (low-end grunt towing cam) Edelbrock #1903 Q'jet carb atop a Performer intake and a re-curved HEI.

I was running a Megasquirt/TBI setup prior and although it ran well I just like the simplicity of a carb and HEI so I ditched it and went back to a carb.
I am going to wrap the primaries of the headers with heat wrap as well.
This is basically used as my camper truck.

Am I going to get any benefit out of a set of headers on this engine or am I wasting my money?

Thanx,
Bud
