Can't attest to it personally, but guys I know who blowout
intake gaskets annually have used these with good success.

Good luck.

The gasket on the supercharger on my Ford GT was of similar construction. Indeed, I feel that under boost this gasket would have been a weak point but it showed no deformation and was easy to remove and replace and reuse when I had to R&R the blower. If a gasket of this type is available I'd recommend it.
