I am helping a friend put his top end back together. The lower intake gasket he has is the stock one. Do you think it would hurt that much performance wise to go ahead and use it with aftermarket heads. The opening in the heads is a couple of millimeters bigger all the way around.

well he should probably get the correct gasket. im pretty sure it is the felpro 1250. you might want to ask thumper460 or TMoss. they will know exactly which one.
