I use Fel-Pro's 1406 after my Jet-Hot supplied gaskets burnt up on me.

Re: Gaskets for Jet Hot Longtubes

I bought a set of steel, stock replacement manifold gaskets when I did my Mac's. I'd heard of a few people using them and having good luck. Been about 2 months since I installed them, and haven't had a leak yet.

Felpro and 12 point ARP bolts. Used to run the Stage 8's and they were a major PITA. With the ARP's you can actually get a box wrench on every bolt.

Summit sells the copper exhaust gaskets with the lt1 d- port. I used them on my edelbrock headers and they worked perfect. I plan to use a new set with my jet hots.They were only $20 2 years ago so they can't be much more now.

I used Perceys Dead Soft Aluminum and absolutly love them. They match the ports perfect and do not leak. I've had them on for almost 2 years and no leak, even when I did have 1 bolt back about half way out
I'd definetly buy them again.

I like the Felpros. I had coppers and they leaked from moment 1.

I ran 13.80@104 with just CAI and exhaust. Never ran with the LTs on though.

I've run the Mr. Gasket copper w/ D-shaped ports since I got the LTs. No leaks, and I've seen them in the local Advance Auto parts.
