Use the pacesetter header gaskets? I've heard that the stock exhaust manifold gaskets are better to use than the gaskets that come with the Pacesetter LT's. I'm ordering the coated race style LT's and just wanna know if I should buy the stock GM gaskets.

Well I already ordered the GM header gaskets. And I ordered the stage 8 header bolts also. That way I don't have to retighten them all the time. I'm pretty sure the gaskets that come with the headers are copper right? I did use them on my LT1 but one of my buddies stripped a few of the bolts on the driver side so it never sealed properly. But on this car I'm taking EXTRA precaution and doing it RIGHT cuz that ticking drove me crazy on my LT1 car.

I used new Gm gaskets and the bolts that came with the headers. The bolts have stayed tight. I checked them all several times for about a month and couldn't tighten any of them.

i re used the stock ones that had 100k on them 
and a year and a half later, still no leak 
make sure you re-tighten everything back up after a day or 2 of driving
