Get the stock mainifold gaskets from gm. I have the arp studs for my headers, They are nice for instalation and looks as well. I got mine at sdpc, or call another sponcer they will be able to get you size you need.

I just used the stock bolts and gaskets on my QTP's. I've still got the ARP's that came with the kit on my shelf. The OEM bolts are actually very good.

Anyone used the SCE Copper LS1 head gaskets from SDPC? Because you can never go to cheap on header gaskets.

I used the stock bolts with new GM gaskets when I installed my LTs in July. Today I checked the bolts on the driver's side and all of them had to be turned about a 1/4 turn. So what I did was just order some Stage 8 locking header bolts from Thunder Racing. I've seen them on other cars before and they look great, + they don't have to be readjusted down the road. Whatever bolts you decide to go with, just make sure that you use GM gaskets.
