94 460 intake gasket replacement
Have to replace the gaskets because of a vacuum leak. Felpro is all I can get locally. I’m gonna rtv the corners. I wanted to know if there would be any benefit to spraying the gaskets with permetex copper gasket spray. Wasn’t sure if it would help making a tighter, more durable seal.

Depends on the Fel-Pro P/N, in my opinion.
If it's the valley pan style intake, the metal gasket with the "crush" areas around the intakes, then I would use some sealant.
But if it's the composite style gasket(s) with a circle of sealant already applied around the ports, then no.
