I use very thin metal gaskets on this place.....after I did this:

I had put all intakes and exhaust headers on a mill and milled them perfect
flat an inline.

Me too. I complained like crazy at the deception on their website which
apparently showed the old "good" gaskets verses the crappy ones they sent

They are not the best gaskets just the most overpriced.
