TPI Newbie Question



So after taking my TPI intake plenum off to try and get at a bolt to try and put on a part that ended up not even fitting, I am left with the task of putting it back on. I decided to replace the gaskets while I had it off, but I just had a quick, likely very obvious question. They're paper gaskets, should I be using RTV of any kind for them? The gasket kit came with a small tube of black RTV. I want to avoid putting it all back together and getting the King of all Vacuum Leaks. Thanks!

Paper gasket only, no RTV.

Thanks man. Saved me a lot of potential headache there.
