Default Am I fogetting something?

Ok, i've made my mind up on headers. is there anything else i need for the setup or installation
This is what i've got so far:

-Jet HOt Hooker LT's
-Carsound Cats
-Custom 3" Ypipe
-GM Gaskets
-Tube of Anti-Sieze
-Liquid Wrench
-Bosch Platinum +4 Plugs
-Accel 9000 Wires
-Stage8 Locking Header bolts

Do I need o2 extensions?
Do I need the air restrictor mod?
Do I need heat protective wrapping? if so how much?

anything else i'm missing?

Also, I have no personal experience with the Bosch +4 but some people here claim they caused problems. Again, this IS NOT first hand knowledge. I went with the NGK's.

I have the stage 8 bolts on my car, but I didn't use the locking tabs. I had to pull the driver's side header off my car when i did the cam install, about 5000 miles after the headers got put on (broke a damn air tube bolt off in it!@#$) The bolts came right out with no problems whatsoever, and went back in very nicely. Anti-seize is definately your friend. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
