What are you guys using for intake gaskets on Max Wedge sized ports. I am not impressed with either the Mr gasket intake, or the Fel Pro.
Im not familiar with the Indy gaskets.
clue me in. OR is there anything else available? or should I say readily available.

The Superformance on left, STD Fel Pro max Wedge on right. I stock both, as some guys still want Fel Pros, but as you can see, there's no comparison. The Superformance has a much larger surface area to stabilize the gasket.

I've been using the same intake gaskets from INDY for 12 years now. I just put a thin layer of grease on them, and they always come off like the day I installed them.

Indy has .030 & .060 ... the fit seems real nice! I believe indy sell a smaller & bigger port MW gaskets and I have the big port ones... never tried the superformance for intakes yet but so far I like the superformance line...

OK thanks for all the comments and info. From what I see I like the Superformance and the Indy gaskets. The Mr Gaskets are too thin around the ports, and so are the Fel Pros.
I like the fact that the Indys are available in a few thicknesses.
didnt get the CNC heads yet so will have to see whats the best fit. Soon. this week I hope.

Thanks Todd, was just going to mention that

I'd also like to add that these gaskets will not wick fluids (fuel in this case) into them which brakes down the binders that hold the material together for more durability. Will also maintain excellent bolt torque so you don't have to babysit your intake bolts

Are they the best? Give Competition Wedge a call, try them & let me know

Thanks to both for that info. I will give them a try, still waiting on the heads.
I like the idea of multiple thicknesses, make fitting easier.
I will have to mill my intake surfaces a lot anyway, but may still help.
thanks.
