header installation questions
Good news first! I finally got my QTP headers!!! they are not yet installed, cause I am saving for the tsp true duals, but I have a few questions concerning accessories:
Which header gasket is the best?
Should I use the stock Manifold bolts / studs (whatever it has stock)?
Does anyone know of a good deatiled set of instructions for installing these headers, instruction for QTP's if possible?
NGK TR55 's are the best choice for new plugs right? ( i heard that this is a good time to install new plugs)
Should I replace the plug wires now as well?
thanks in advance for help on any of the questions!

-get some new GM gaskets
-you can reuse the stock bolts. make sure you clean them well before reusing.
-everything is straight foreward. get the car up as high as possible and remove the oil plug/filter for the drivers side.
-i put in TR55's with my QTP's
-stock plug wires are fine.

I would recommend you get the stage 8 locking fastners.You will also need o2 extensions two of them.Remember if you are doing this in your garage try and get the car as high up as possible,It also would help if you get a tune on the car after the headers are in if budget allows.

if the headersa are all you are going to do for a while then get the tuen, if u see a cam or anything else that will drasticly change ur AFR then hold off until then, no need spending the money twice
