Locking bolts

You guys ever tried or had any luck with any brand of locking header bolts with your FE headers?

I personally never had the header bolts come loose on me.

Good headers and good gaskets and you probably won't need locking bolts.

If you snug them down evenly and securely I have never had any come loose.

All manufacturers I've seen tell you to retighten the bolts after a few complete heat up and cool downs. If you do that a couple of time you should have no problems.
