How do you determine exactly how much to mill off each intake flange?

Machine shop told me this: Get some shim stock. Can be brass shim stock or even thin cardboard, 12 pack cartons, doughnut box, this stuff like that. Put a caliper on the cardboard and measure and write it down.
Put your intake on the engine with the gasket you will use. Then experiment, shim it on 4 corners, play with it until it aligns.
Whatever shim stack makes it right, take that amount off the intake flange.
I milled my Victor .035 to align on my High Ports doing this.
I bought my intake without crossover. I did not mill it and it sealed just fine. Used the KRE crossover for the High Ports so the rubber gaskets aligns up in the front. Actually bought the very first one available from KRE.
