What is wrong w/ the bolts PS sends..

Just recd my PS LT's race only. WOW they look real nice. Ordered new gaskets thru NAPA, but I dont see anything wrong with the bolts they sent. Other than them backing out, which I dont mind tightening them periodically. I am broke so no Stage 8's now. I m sure they are grade 8 or 5, so why shouldn't I use them?
Thanks

Theres no reason you shouldn't use them. I used the bolts that came with my MAC headers and they have not backed out in the slightest...I checked them a few weeks after install and they were all as tight as I was getting them. Personally I think some people have had trouble so a big myth started about the header bolts being bad.

I used the bolts that came with my MAC headers as well. They are just standard header bolts. They haven't backed out at all. I just snugged them up for the first month or so after a few heat cycles.
