Gasket For Superram Base

I realize this may be a very stupid question but here it goes. I just picked up a superram base and will be installing it next week. But, I want to make sure I have all the stuff 1st .

I will need a new gasket correct? I checked Jegs and they offer the "Replacement S.B.Super Ram Gasket Kit " for $29.99, but when you click the picture it is just the gaskets for all the other parts of the setup (which I dont have...yet).

Are they just not picturing all of whats included or do I need something elce ?

Any help would be greatly appriaciated

If you're retaining the LTR setup and just using the base, you only need stock replacement type gaskets. You only need those special accel gaskets when you have the super ram plenum and runners.

Yeah, just get a regular intake manifold gasket for the base. That kit you are looking at is for the plenum, runners and plenum lid

For my accell superram intake manifold I use a Fel-Pro 1204 gasket and it lines up perfect. For people that have ported this intake manifold the 1205 may be a better choice.

What is the difference between those and the 1256?

I honestly don't know, I've never looked at the 1256. I can tell you though on the 1204 & 1205 that the EGR passage is blocked off and all of the cooling ports are open.
