what would make the, biggest diffrence a longer header or stiffer clutch springs ?

Honestly, a different pipe will help more than the header or the springs. The 086 pipe is a top end pipe so nothing you do is going to help a lot. 90% of these engines performance comes from the exhaust system, you can have the baddest engine made and with the wrong pipe it will be nothing but a headache.

If you can't get a better pipe start with a longer header if you already have one, if not try the springs first since they are the cheapest option.
