    so im collecting parts for my IC install, i need 2 supercharger gaskets.

    so AZ is the closest to me so i go there, tell the kid whos younger then me 99 pontiac GTP, ask for 2 supercharger gaskets. he types it in, then looks at me like im speaking taco to him. after telling him again, supercharger gasket he get mad at me says it doesnt exist in the computer, so i dont need one. proceded to tell me just Rtv the old one back together and i should be fine.

    so i left, went to napa, he searches supercharger gasket, again doesnt come up. ok im getting frustrated now because ive spent an hour driving to the two stores and not getting anywhere. so last chance was CarQuest, tell him 99 gtp he says found walks in back and hands me the 2, i found out the proper name for the computer is intake plenum gasket.

    Well, the kid at Autozone was correct RTV does work. The SVT crowd uses RTV on their gaskets because their SC gaskets are $300+. I don't have a SC gasket on my car and its perfectly fine.

    It is called an intake plenum gasket so the name is universal with the N/A motors. Next time just ask for an intake gasket and they should find it easier for ya.
