Use this Head bolts? + where to get cheap head gasket set

I posted this in the Tech because I want to know if these head bolts are good for cars with 430hp 410 torque NA and possibly a 100shot of nitrous.

I believe they are equivelant to grade 5 bolts.

Also who has the lowest prices on head gasket install kits? Thunderracing is the lowest ive seen.

No way I'd ever use grade 5 bolts to hold my cylinder heads on! After reading that link, it says intake/head. I think they mean intake-to-head, which is fine.

Bolts are NOT the place to cheap out. Buy the best rod, main, and head bolts you can. In other words, ARP.

He nailed it.......that's not the place, especially going for 430HP and 100 shot. ARP!!! As for the head gaskets. I hope your going with some Fel-Pro's. I can't see spending all that money and cheaping out on the little things that hold everything together.

When in doubt of the cheapest place, you usually can't go wrong with Summit Racing or Jegs for $50. Part number in picture in picture for a hex head. It was fine for me, but I'd suggest getting 12 point head to make your ractheting life a little easier, but that's me.

Edit-I forgot. Pic below is the part number for the head gaskets.
