Gasket matching

Just curious if any one who had the intake and head off compared the gasket to them. Are they close or is there room for improvement (at least enough to make the work worth it)?

Since the intake is composite and the head is aluminum, and it's force fed there isn't much to improve upon. Pull off your intake manifold and take a peak.
Just push more boost through there and open up the exhaust system if an S model and the intake tract.
