Supercharged setups produce alot more heat

Next question is would headers make you lose any boost ?[/QUOTE]

Boost is a measure of restriction. The less restrictions the engine has, the less boost it reads on a boost guage. Boost is not "lost" after headers, the engine is simply no longer as restricted as it was before the headers.
