No, TB gasket seems unnecessary as they are easily available.

Hi guys, sorry for the delay. Okay so now I can safely say we have a gasket set for this application !!! I was able to meet with Rosie today and she is making the final inputs to cut our first set. I've asked for 6 to begin with and should have them available in about two weeks. The gasket material is virtually the same as the Mr. Gasket set sold by Lingenfelter, fyi, she's using my set along with my lid to create the masters. Looking at a little layup time and we're there. Yes, our price is very good for each set, it'll make everyone interested happy.

Just a quick update - I had anticipated have product last Friday but that didn't happen. I called Rosie to follow up and understand where she is at on this. The hold up is the gasket materials. The shop originally planned on having the material available last week however it hasn't been received as yet. She knows it has been shipped from the supplier and as soon as she has it the gaskets will be cut. Probably looking at later this week now. As soon as they become available I'll send out notices.

Well after multiple false starts I'm pleased to say we definitely have an alternative to the Mr. Gasket SuperRam gasket set. It's been interesting getting these gaskets cut and ready to deliver to anyone needing this product. PM me if you need a set and we'll make arrangements get it out to you. Thx, Scott

Hi Cuisinartvett, Glad you stopped by. I've responded to you at the email address given. Like your shop the one I'm working with has multiple capabilities and materials. Never have give much thought to all the different type needed today. They sure are extensive.

Im getting some made myself
Superram, oversized TPI, some single copper exh gaskets and more
They will be stamped rather than laser cut and of a way better material. Setup is super expensive though

See if I can afford the startup and there will be more and more GOOD quality gaskets available soon lol. Whatevers hard to find letme know they will be available again!

Good to know you guys are making them in case

Wanted to start making some others only out of a better material. I never liked those paper type gaskets they tear too easy. Yes they are cheap and they do work I just want a little more. Looking into other disc stuff to T off of also.

All depends on their setup quote. Its going to be real pricy then need to figure if its still worth it.
The idea of actual tool stamped pieces of a real high quality material (albeit little more $) theres an audience for both. Hope so anyway.

Good luck on the venture!

Hi Just to confirm what Matt mentioned, we do have the Super Ram gasket sets available. The only part that wasn't cut is the throttle body gasket. These gaskets are high quality, comparable to Mr. Gasket material, and readily available. Let me know what you'd like to do and we'll workout getting a set to you.
Thx, Scott

Scott thanks very happy with the quality. The one picture of single set is what was on market over a year ago and I could not get them.
I am thinking about two more sets next month to lock up in my gun safe for real emergency.

Thanks again

Good reason to have an extra set of Super Ram gaskets from Scott. Will pm in a week or so for at least 2 more sets


Didn't want to crank appears had a weak battery. Quick charge fires up. Checked MAF sensor cleaned it up. Would idle at 700 and after a few idled at 1400. Before clean MAF.
Checked for air leaks on Super Ram. yep May be hose from Throttle body to valve covers or I may get to use my new Laser cut gaskets. New there was a reason I ordered 2 sets and was thing about buying two more sets. They sure were cheap.
Thank Scott for making the gaskets to the Super Ram
will be ordering more soon.

Morning Steve, I'm really glad you like the gaskets. I can do a couple of sets right away but I'll need to get some more cut to get the third set to you. I'd anticipate this will take a week or so for more sets. Let me know what you want to do. Thx, Scott

I can go with the two sets. I will pm you and we can work out the shipping and price. Everyone that has a Super Ram should have a set sitting around. Just my opinion.


Thanks

Anyone out there with a super Ram should have at least one set of these gaskets in their parts box. Try to find a set in the next 5 years.
