Default Header bolts
Do I need to use different header bolts when changing the headers or can I reuse the stockers????

Just be sure to re-torque bolts after a little bit of use as they will back out a little bit and cause leaks.

You can reuse the stockers. i choose to go with the stage 8 locking header bolts so I wouldn't have to worry about them backing out.

you guys must not be torquing them down good enough.... 18 lb ft and start with the middle two and work your way outwards
