Well not actually "Red" kind of a Pink/Salmon color. You can coat any cheap gasket material with a color of your choice however, it will always be just a coating over a cheap gasket material and will sooner or later attack the base material. Thumper, that is the ONLY complaint we have received in the 2 years we've been manufacturing these so be careful when you pull the last fuel bowl screw  I have no idea why anybody would still use another gasket when these are available  All of our distributors stock them, they are all sponsors/contributors on the board here and the price is comparable to the lesser quality gaskets sold at the Big Box stores  If you have an issue with any of our products, I'm here and won't run and hide

Are the carb gaskets red instead of the blue crap Holley sells?
The carb gasktes work great. When you have them on and off on the dyno, its real noticable, as far as durability and the non stick. It amazes me they havent moved better than they have. People want to stick with the old blue crap. Do yourself a favor, and get some good gaskets. Yes, I do sell them, but I support whatever dealer sells the Superformance products. We are all happy to have such a good product to sell.
And as far as Greg goes.....do you remember the old Charlie Daniels song......" so I kicked ole green teeth right in the knees"...well.......ah....forget it.....

Todd, what would a carb kit for a 4150/4160 run? I've never used them but am very interested. I actually have two carbs that I need to do.
Back in the swing of things at Painless again! Great to be back!

I am glad this post was put up. I was talking with a guy the other night and he told me about a carb place that sold him a carb that added 40 HP to his NASCAR roundy round car, it had a red gasket. He also told me a story about an engine builder who usually won engine challenges lost once cause he opened up a fuel bowl and a chunk of hgasket came loose and blocked a jet. A $59K loss. The new Holley gen 3 Dominator I bought had the blue gaskets. I took off the bowels to see what mains it had and the new gaskets were broken off inside and there were chunks loose in the bowl. New gaskets were not much better. Where do I get these?

Yes, things like that can happen unfortunately 
Application wise we offer these gaskets for the 4150 style 650-950 dual feed double pump and the 2 circuit 4500 Dominator's.
We also have them for the 3 circuit 4500 Dominators.
I do believe the Gen 3 Dominators require a different metering block gasket, not made by us yet. Still have research to do on that model.

Here is a pic of a competitors "Red" gasket.
Notice how it's puckered in the circuit channels. Won't be long before this starts causing problems.
Again, you can coat these any color of your choice but if your base material is not up to the task it's just eye candy.
Also notice the circled areas where the holes are not lined up with the circuit channels. One of them is also cross feeding a circuit and certainly will cause some head scratching trying to tune the carb this is on.
All of our carb gaskets start with a Premium Non Stick MP-15 base material and are precision die cut for accuracy. Our "Track Kits" include 2 Fuel Bowl gaskets, 2 Metering Block gaskets, 2 Power Valve gaskets and 8 Nylon Fuel Bowl Screw Washers. Don't neglect to change the Power Valve Gaskets even though you may run a block off plug. This is a known area for loosening up and causing tuning and erratic idle issues.
Carb base gaskets? You may as well replace those also. Made from the same Premium Non Stick MP-15 material like many of our gaskets.
