This would require custom tuning right?

Yes but so does a lightning blower swap so a custom tune should already be had, just have the tuner turn it off.

No. Ford gaskets work great on manifolds, They done seem worth a crap on aftermarket headers. I'm using Cometic multi-layer copper gaskets. They seal perfectly and have been on the truck for a little over a year now with no issues.

Contrary to everyone recommendations I'm using felpro 92568 lol. Hopefully they work out nicely.

I was kind of confused at first, since it looks like it can be fit installed in two different ways. But I'm guessing it doesn't really matter:

Stage 8 bolts, what do you mean i must like doing things twice? Are these gaskets junk? I've heard they are pretty decent and i was actually recommended to use these.
