Default hooker supercomp shorties, what gaskets

Anyone running these headers? They came on my Mom's 94 Z28 and were using Earls gaskets, you know you can replace the insides of them. Looks like I will end up running them again, after I order some inserts for $26, and thats before summit will hit me $7-9 to ship less than a pound of gasket material. Gonna swing by Autozone, but I doubt they will have Percy's in stock for a LT1. Just wondering what people were using with these headers. I just did head gaskets on this motor and tried to use the ones Fel Pro provided, hahah they are going up in smoke right before my eyes, they aren't sealing for anything. Kinda frustrating to have to go do some more when you think you are done.

For a company that is supposed to make good headers, this had the most retarded looking flanges on them if you ask me. Damn non-sealing headers.

I used the Felpro 1406s on my LPPs, MACs, and Jet-Hots. Never once had a problem with them leaking.
