I noticed a difference with my headers, but I replaced the whole exhaust all at the same time.

get the ceramic coated longtube headers with ASP aluminum pullies. and for NOS there's nothing better than ZEX Dry System.

The pulleys will give you a good increase. At this point with your mods I would say wait on the headers. I would save up a little extra money and get a good used Cobra or Edelbrock intake.

I think that is a opinion. It is one of the easiest systems to hook up, I will give it that.

both the pullies and the headers are worth 5-10hp. Note the pinch at the top of the stock headers. this alone chokes the rest of the exhaust system. I have never seen a dyno shoot out where a header was worth less than 5. So adding the two together you get 10-20hp. Saving for a good manifold is always a good idea, they will get you anywhere from 10-40 wheel hp, but also cost more money as well. But either will make good power.
