You will have to rejet the carb. The headers will require a richer mixture. If you have access to a dwell meter and spend a little time researching something I've written here on how to adjust the M/C-IAB circuits, you can adjust the idle air bleed to richen it up a little in the idle circuit - don't mess with the idle mixture screws. Keep in mind this only affects idle and off-idle (low speed cruising etc), so you will still need to rejet.
