I just installed the Stage 8 locking bolts I got from Thunder. They seem to do the trick.

The Stage 8 was the ones I was thinking abought its good to know you can use the factory ones though. But I like the ideal of them locking so I dont have a bunch of problems

Ive used the stock ones on my Pacesetters but on my 408 build Im using the Stage 8's on ASM's. To tell you the truth I would of used the Stage 8's on my PaceSetters but they came in a day late.
