The header would probably work just fine...is it one of the designs
that eliminates the cat?  A long tube unit?  If so, it might be
geared more towards improving high rpms.  The good 4-2 manifold and
a twin tube downpipe is a better all around system IMO..and will probably
last longer.

As for swapping out the coil, or using a Jacobs system, I've never
heard anything definitive that they actually would improve your power...
more so then just swapping in a new stock coil (if the old one was
failing).  The testimonials and claims made by such devices sure
seem compelling though, eh? :-)
