sti head and avcs

well i guess i am new to this, but i have done searches and ive read around. i am interested in getting the sti heads with avcs, but is it worth it? what type of gains and how much, can you hear the advance of the cams while driving, is it rmp activated?
i am ordering the gruppe-s v2 header with up pipe and a down pipe. i have a greddy catback and i am going to get the blitz intake.

the head with avcs allows you to redline at 8.5k compared to the usdm's 7k you should expect some low end gain, and better spool up, but that's about it.
