And the mods begin...

There is no controversy anymore. Everyone knows they don't work. Airraid should be ashamed of themselves (as should all other TB spacer manufacturers) for claiming otherwise and especially for manufacturing information to back up their claims. I'm not trying to start off on the wrong foot here. I like your car, most of your mod list and your enthusiasm, but from one mustang guy to another, let someone else get taken and sell it off. $50 is a lot of money for an aluminum paperweight. One more thing: Install the Whipple!

Headers, exhaust and drive shaft this weekend - FEW QUESTIONS
This weekend we will be installing the ceramic JBA catforward headers. I am using Percy's seal-for-good gaskets and Stage8 bolts with Nickel anti-sieze. I plan to torque the bolts down in stages to 16 ft-lb - is that the correct torque spec? - and then set the Stage8 locks in place. I'm also installing Prothane bullet motor mounts while I'm in there. Since the car will be on the lift I am installing my Shaftmasters aluminum driveshaft. Should I use blue Loctite on the shaft bolts? Lastly, we'll be installing the FRPP X-Pipe and Corsa Xtreme axle-backs.
The car will be in for a host of mods this winter and I won't be able to road test/heat cycle the engine until spring. I will be able to start the car and check for leaks. Since I'm using Percy's and Stage8 locking bolts, will I need to go through the hassle of re-torquing the header bolts later on? Or am I good to go? Maybe I can overtoque slightly on the initial install - say 18 ft-lb? You guys know how difficult it is to reach the bolts for a re-torque - and then I would have to reset the locks as well.

Nice combo of power/handling mods, Maine-iac!
Did your GT come stock with 3.55 gears? I'm thinking about putting 4.10 in mine next.
What area of Maine are you located? I'm close to Augusta and hoping to attend some of the Mustang meet-ups this summer. Would be cool to see you there.
Oh, and you need to stripe it someday.
