porting then polishing tpi--what do I need besides intake gaskets?

I am going to port the inside and polish the outside: What else besides intake gaskets do I need to put the tpi back on? Are there gaskets between the throttle body and the plenum? plenum and runners? runners and base?

Do any of you know which torx bits are required?

Thanks

Gaskets go between throttle body and plenum (you can usually reuse that one, I do), plenum and runners, runners and base. Just buy the Felpro TPI upper intake gasket set from the parts store. Will have everything you need plus a few extras like an IAC gasket.
