After reading last month about everyone's experience with the Stage 8 header bolts (some good, some bad), I heard about a new product from Jeg's called Split Lock Header Bolts:

Tony A (Orange1) and I installed them on my car on Sunday. They were fairly easy to install. They fit the 4 into 4 headers, the only glitch being that it is not possible to fit a 3/8 socket onto the bolt head because the header interferes. We used a 3/8 box end and were able to tighten all down snug except for one, for which I will either have to get a thin walled wrench or grind down a cheap wrench so it can slip past the header onto the bolt head.
The only downside is that the stainless ones are a little pricey ($77.00).
The car should be up and running soon and I'll let everyone know how they hold up. If anyone else has any experience with these, let me know.
