Call Ford up. Make sure you use Stage 8 locking bolts too.

I used Percy's "Dead Soft" gaskets and stage 8 locking header bolts. IMO I don't see how anything can beat that setup.

wow, I didn't know that OEM gaskets may be the best for headers. I hope my BBK gaskets hold up well because I don't want to feel like I wasted my money.
Can anyone tell me why OEM is better than aftermarket? I'm not sold yet...

I used I believe Mr Gasket Coppers may have been fel pro but Im pretty sure they are Mr. Gasket. I have had these on for 2 years now with no problems but that is also with an awesome set of stage 8 locking header bolts. The bolts were expensive but well worth it especially having BBK LT's
