Just Ordered Jet Hot LTs. What else should I get?

Well I took advantage of Jet Hot's GP today and ordered a set of LTs with emissions fittings, O2 extensions, and a coated Hooker Y pipe. I also ordered a set of Percy's gaskets for the headers and collectors from Jegs. Is there anything else I should get? I know a lot of people reccomend getting OVC wires but I just installed a new set of Accel 300+ wires. Is there any way to route them away from the headers? Thanks

you might want to invest in a better set of bolts.

Get some heat sleeves. You will need them with the plug wires in the stock location. I burned three in two weeks.

You can buy an OVC (over the valve cover) kit for the plug wires, summit has them.

If you get the OTVC kit you really don't need the heat sleeves, I got mine, but I really don't need them. BTW, don't forget the beer!

Thanks for the replies. I think for right now I'm going to try the heat sleeving because its cheaper than a set of new wires. If that doesnt work I guess its time for OTVC wire . Oh and the beer will be flowing mainly after the job is done. I don't feel like trying to put headers on buzzed

If you don't have them already, get a pair of mechanics gloves too. You'll thank me later, just as I thanked those who recommended them to me when I did my header install.
