    Yes I have tried the punch to center the intake. The only way to get the bolts in would be to drill out the holes. I do believe .030 off the intake would work, but than would i need to take additional off for gasket?

    Yes when I tried with a .060 thick gasket the bolts wouldn't go in. When I tried without the gasket I was able to bolt up one side and almost the other side. I figure I have to take off at the least .060 for the gasket and maybe another .060 to center the bolts. That just seems like a lot to me.

    As I posted in my first post there's no gaps it fits perfectly. I can't take pictures as I already dropped the intake off at the shop to be milled. The intake is to high it needs to be milled. I'm taking .080 off, .060 for the gasket and .020 extra to line the bolt holes up better.
