I used the stock bolts with slp headers.

I cleaned them good with a wire brush ( dremmel ).

Put a dab of red locktite on them and they

have not givin me any problems..

Stage 8 bolts with anti-seize on the threads work great, just my 2 cents worth.

I've ran stock header bolts both my LS1's.. never had them ever loosen up.

Stage 8 bolts are expensive and a PITA to install on these cars.
