Cool thanks.
Where do i buy this weatherstrip adhesive ? Are you using a thin bead around the ports ? On the top side of the gasket. Or both.
Is This adheasive any better than the normal stuff we use to seal our intakes.

I put it around all the ports on the head and intake and both sides of the gasket.
I have run 24+lbs of boost with no leaks

the 1284's dont have a seal ring on them so they can be trimmed without issues my heads are milled .030 and my intake is not touched and they still seal without any sealant or rtv.
and my bad on the size of the ports i didnt know they was that much larger.

NICE !!!!!!!
What do you use to seal your intake with . Black RTV ?
Im worried that it will not hold up to the boost !!!
Last year I was only running between 9-12psi. The black rtv held up.
But im not sure how well it will hold up above that.
Thanks Again

.Sounds like a mean monster you're going to have there when you get it all done. You're going to have to post up some pics for us folks of modest means
- especially some of that intercooler you're making
