Blue stuff is for the coolant uses, id use the black stuff on the intake, the copper is for exhaust gaskets.

Personally, I don't think it really matters. As long as you do it right and re-torque the bolts after so many heat cycles/miles you put on the car, it should be fine. I used Black RTV.

I used the Permatex Ultra black RTV back in January and its leaking again now... I did everything perfectly. I think it's the RTV and I have to get it done by Thursday night so I really need to know which sealent I can pick up tomorrow on my lunch break so I can finish it tomorrow night.

I used Permatex Ultra Copper, as mentioned on the Project Trans Am website.

Red is the High Temp stuff, and Ultra Copper is the Sensor Safe High Temp stuff.
