Header gaskets and bolts

I am about to order some pacesetter longtubes for my 96 LT1 and was wondering what knid of header gasket to use. I have heard the ones that come with the headers are crap. Also, I am gonna use stage-8 locking header bolts and dont know whether i need the 3/4" or 1" ones. Any help would be appreciated. Also I plan on buying some 02 extension harnesses for my front 02's and was wondering how long of a harness i should buy. I no longer have rear 02's, they have been tuned out.

I used the fel-pros with my jethots, so far they've lasted over a year and I even used to bolts that jethot sent with the headers.

You can check with the vendors here, summit, jegs, or locally, just order them from Autozone.

Fel-Pro 1406s seal very well and are pretty cheap, under twenty bucks for a set. I would go with the 1" bolts over the 3/4, you will get more thread and alot more bite as a result. The flanges on the Pacesetter headers are so thick that the 3/4" bolt gets used up pretty quick. As for the extensions, I originally had the 24" but they are just way too big in my opinion. I swapped them for 12" ones instead and and much happier with the result.
