Do ya want to have to retorque the header bolts every 500 miles? If not, get the Stage 8's so ya won't have to touch them ever after ya do the install.

Yep! I have FRPP shorties and when motor was pulled for new short block, two of the bolts on the headers were loose and about ready to fall out. Stage 8 header bolts to the rescue!

i havent really had trouble with the stock header bolts... they havent come loose on me yet... and ive had them for about 15000 miles with long tubes.. yet the motor was replaced 2k miles ago.

i have some percy's gaskets that are metal and are kinda fuzzy. not sure what that fuzzy stuff is. lol. i had those percys aluminum gaskets everyone says are great and i had some problems with them since i blew them in 2 places on one side.. the ones i have now are 20 dollars cheaper.
