I used the black Fel-Pro performance gaskets.... The best way to go is to o-ring it, helps prevent detonation blowing your gaskets, but thats machine work, so if you're looking to just unbolt and bolt back up, i'd go with the Fel-Pro's

Are they metal gaskets? I hear metal ones are the best you can get for supercharged engines.

i think you need .040 or .045
and get the copper spray if you get these.
I went with a ford motorsport gasket.

I need the intake manifold gaskets, vavle cover gaskets, and header gaskets. Also, does anyone know if the rockers are non adjustable? They look very similar to the non adjustable rockers that were on my LS1 camaro. thanks.
