What kind of headers?

No copper with stainless steel.

Other than that, something with a steel core if you dont want to pay the money for copper. Personally i have fel-pro with slp headers and am having good luck

My gaskets that came with the Edelbrock header, blew out in about 1000 miles, but I think it may be due to them getting oil soaked when I was having valve cover sealing problems with the new heads.

I replaced it with a Fel-Pro gaskets, and used the Stage 8 locks immediately. I have not retightened the bolts, and the header gasket so far is doing fine, about 3 months now.
