If you're worried about leaks, take the manifold and plenum to a machine shop and check to see how flat the mating surfaces are.

Otherwise a gasket usually always gets installed "dry". The exception being the valve cover gasket corners and half-circles.

+1 ^

Install it dry for sure. Anything else is just messy, like people that put high temp rtv on their turbo parts? Unbelievable.
