Air escaping under the bonnet of TBI

I have a 1991 Firebird Formula TBI with a Paxton SN92. I have tried many ways to try to seal the bonnet to the TBI to prevent air leaks (cork, rubber and other types of gasket material), but to no avail. The supercharger either blows the gasket out or leaks air somehow. I have tightened the bonnet to the TBI as tight as I can. Does anyone have a suggestion or remedy to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Don

Could locate a large 0 ring? I would google 0 ring. I know they are used for heads on snowmobiles and jet skis.
