Pacesetter header bolts?
Pacesetter header bolts? Should i use the bolts they sent me for the headers? Dont remember what brand of headers they were but some people said not to use those because they suck? So, how about the pacestter ones?

i had to tighten some i didnt get real tight the first day when i put the headers in. just checked today actually and they were all tight. its been about 3 weeks now. i reused the stock gaskets there was nothing wrong with them and i was told i will have problems if i dont use them.

I did the samething.. On your pacesetters, what bolts did you use for the EGR and the other 2 hoses that bolt onto the headers? Because on the stock ones they just bolt in because the stock ones are threaded. But, on the LT's its just a freakin hole so you cant reuse the stock bolts the just slide in. What did you do? Go to the hardware store and buy nuts and bolts?

If you have NGK plugs they should be pre gapped so you shouldn't have to worry. I checked mine all before hand and they were all correct except one or two were off by a little bit.
YES CHECK THE GAP!!! i checked mine and they were from .052-.067 when i got them WAY off. i gaped them all at .052 and it runs great. trust me make sure its right before it goes in cause u dont wanna have to redo it lol

chances are they could be fine but like i said once they are in there u dont wanna take em back out until its time for new ones lol. u can grab a gap tool for like $0.50 and its worth it if u can save time haha
