help needed on header install asap Which header gaskets should I use. The stock ones that were on the car or the new ones that came with my pacesetter headers. I am waiting to install them as soon as I get some info. So thanks for any quick replies.

Or Felpro or Percy's are good. Pacesetters do not come with the paper gaskets anymore, I dont see why it would be bad to use them. I used the paper ones and havent had any trouble with them so far and its been over a year now, I just soaked them in water before installing them.

I'd definately rather use the paper ones than reuse the stock ones. There isn't anything really wrond with the paper ones as long as they are soaked and then installed. Over a year and nothing so far.
