I feel your pain.. I did the same thing with less than 1k miles on the motor - more of a tuning issue than a HG problem, but I did pop the gasket on the rear 2 cylinders.

I used ARP hardware, but you do have to retorque. In fact, after 500 miles, I'd retorque almost everything. The intake will start to get looser as the gasket compresses, the same thing on the header...
