Default Torque plus intake gaskets


I was paging through Jegs catalog... Found this interesting gasket
(not with the other gaskets, BTW)

Any experience on these?

Default Re: Torque plus intake gaskets (adam)

I tried a set and was not too pleased with them. I'm not sure if the problem was my fault, but they seemed to delaminate and curl up in the areas where the manifold is not fully pressing them against the heads. I also had some water and oil leaks. I changed to a set of Felpro gaskets, and they seem to be holding up much better. As far as any additional torque that they may produce, you would probably need to find that out on a dyno. I doubt that you would be able to feel any gains through the seat of your pants.
