Gaskets and Bolts for stock heads

Hey guys I have a stock heads and hedman elite headers.

I want percys aluminum gaskets, im wondering if i should order the round port or the square port gaskets.

Also what size bolts and how many do i need? (12?) Are the locking bolts worth the price?

Breslin or stage 8 locking?

You need the round port gaskets. Locking nuts are a great idea since most header bolts back out slightly the first few times the car is run. I would look into the breslin bolts since they don't have any tabs that interfere with the header primaries. My stage 8 bolts are great except for the fact that I could not use a single one of the locks. All of the primaries were touching the bolts. Most of this is faulty header design but I can't see it being much different on other sets.
