Default Fast intakes and using rtv instead of fast gasket between shells
I ripped fast gasket and it will take awhile to get one I think.I ordered one today anyway but not sure if they are even in stock or maybe it will be backordered. Its for old fast 90mm. Has anyone used just rtv between the shells and not bothered with the fast gasket?

I used RTV on my 90 when i ported it, sealed up no problem. just make sure the ridge it lays in is clean.

I don't think I'd want to have to pick the RTV out of there the next time I split the shell. JMO... I use the dabs like they call for.
