Afaik, stock headers were alu only in the first 496s, but afterwards replaced with iron, though I'm not sure about when they switched over exactly.
They surely were already iron in 2006.
Can't tell you specifically at 2500rpm, but in mine the pressure is right at 45 psi at high cruising speeds (4000+) and 20 at idle.
When hot, that is - obviously. If cold, 40 to 45 also at idle. I never tried 4000+ with the engine cold...!:drink:
