Tip: I used red RTV about 1/4" bead at the front and rear of my Performer intake. The rubber gaskets in the set are trash since 10 times out of 10 they slip out of place. Set the intake in place, install the bolts to hand tight (no tools), leave it overnight for the RTV to set up. Then torque the bolts to specs. I did this to both my chevy engines 10+ years ago and still no leaks. If I missed anything I am sure someone will chime in.
