Unless you're spec'd for 400 bhp you'd be much better off with a set of ported standard headers with a venturi up-pipe, both done by Harvey Smith.
With what you have already plus tubular headers, you will have gone way beyond the scope of your ECU, putting your engine at risk as well as the possibility of actually ruining drivability and power. Your first route would be a mappable ECU or additions to the existing unit, as already mentioned, essential for these changes.
