I guess the reason the intakes leak is because GM was too stingy on the sealants at esp. the rear of the intake. so it's important to be generous with the RTV at the rear mating surfaces. With a good quality gasket a proper torqing you should be ok. JMHO

Don't use sealant on the gaskets. Lay gaskets on, retain with the white clips, put a good bead of silicone on just the front and rear of the block and around the tabs of the gaskets.
