Default Best Gaskets

Felpro is a good gasket but it depends what intake you use. I use edelbrock aluminum intakes so I use Edelbrock intake gaskets. Seals better.

i dont use or recomend useing any intake gasket that has the silicone around the port.i like the mr gasket intake manifold gaskets,i put a smear cote of the right stuff on the head and the manifold and never had a problem.the fel pro line of gaskets is also good imo.

Cometic makes a nice intake gasket.

I use Fel Pro MLS for my head gaskets, a Fel Pro 1pc "non crush" oil pan gasket, Mr Gasket intake manifold gaskets, Fel Pro timing cover gasket and Fel Pro exhaust gaskets.

i agree,big boost alcohol engines require a o ring and a reciever groove,low boost[15 lbs or less]a mls gasket is all you need.i have used fel pro marine gaskets on 1000 hp marine engines in the past,but the mls gaskets are now the way to go.
