I have a 1500 Midget, but in principle, the result should be about the same.  
By itself, a header won't do a whole lot.  It's the header plus:
 - lower restriction exhaust
 - better carbeuration
that gets you the real benefit. On my 1500, I went to a Pacesetter header 
plus the European dual SU set-up (a huge improvement over the single 
Stromberg).  

One caveat, though.  Too little restriction in the exhaust will loose you low-
end torque.  I ended up with a 1-3/4" system and got better top end and good 
driveability.
