Default What intake manifold gaskets? Fast or Felpro

I'm going to put my ls6 intake manifold back on this weekend. I have fast intake gaskets for a fast ls1 intake manfold. Should I use the fast gaskets on the ls6 or just get the fel pro gaskets? What ones seal better?

Looks like fel pro it is! I put the fast gaskets in and they don't seem to fit that well.

Felpro and order from Advance auto with in store pickup for 20% off

EDIT: by the way don't be alarmed when you get the Fel Pro gaskets and they are not the correct shape, they go in the intake perfectly. The gaskets will be rectangular and the intake ports should look more cathedral

Nice...just ordered a set myself. $17 is worth it before putting a used FAST intake on.

I used the FAST gaskets in my LS6, and they worked great. TSP prefers them because they are significantly cheaper than the GM gaskets.
