Big 'ole 10-4 on the loctite....I was planning on using that regardless of screw material. I was asking about the stainless because it's more brittle than regular steel, I don't think this is a problem in this application since all the screws do is locate the throttle plates. I've heard it can be a problem if you use stainless for the air cleaner hold down, but that actually has a constant load on it. All the little throttle plate screws have to deal with is heat and vibration.
