Which Intake Gasket Is Best?
Alright, hopefully this is my last post before this cam swap is done! I am about to put my intake back on and I was just wondering which gasket set I should use because I have two. One set came with my cam swap gasket set from Combination Motorsports, and it is a Fel-Pro, more of a cardboard type gasket with blue rings around the ports. The other set I have from a while back when I bought a set cuz I needed a TB gasket and these are Fel-Pro but a metallic compound. Which would be best to use??? Also, I have researched a bit and it seems like most people say to not use any sealer on the gaskets - is this correct? Thanks AGAIN everyone

Either gasket will do fine as long as they aren't blocking any part of the intake port. There is absolutely no reason to use sealant except at the front and rear of the block.

They both block the pass. side rear most runner a little bit 
That was an issue last time I put my intake on as well. So which would you use if you had to pick?
