Default Header bolt length?

I just bought a set of Stage 8 header bolts for my new headers and I was wondering if the 3/4" length will be enough to get a good grip? The flange on the headers is 3/8" thick. Whataya think?

They need to be an inch long.

I just put my Hookers on and thought the same thing - too short, I'm getting longer ones from work tomorrow!
