Default Superram question

Spent the wwekend porting and gasket matching my new heads, superram base and headers.
Checked the base to runner gaskets and they are pretty close but I could shave a tad off here and there to get a perfect match.
Should I do this or is it not worth it?
The motor is staying at 350 so I was thinking those last millimeters will gain me very little.
They are Edelbrock heads and 1.75" headers with LPE 219 cam.
Cheers
Tim

I would do it, but i can tell you from experience, on a 350, it wont make any difference. My buddy has an exact duplicate of my car except his SR is not touched and mine is completely ported and matched. We run almost identical ETs.
