Personally I would go with Stage 8 header bolts. They have worked flawless for me.

I was gonna get Stage 8's back when i was doin my headers but i had heard some problems with the locks on them. After posting and asking around i ended up with the 12pt ARP bolts. After a couple days of heat cycle and tightening them up with my modified wrench they havent backed out since then. Thats been almost 2 years ago. If I had to do it over again I would go with them again. Oh yea, i went with Fel-Pro gaskets too
