Even with the stock gasket, it won't clear the radiator support.

it'll only fit if you trim your radiator support.

Incorrect. I have an RBC manifold, and I've tried to fit it on a friend's K20a swap. Not able to fit.

trimming needed but it fits
after we dropped the motor in, there was enough room for it without the trimming
but we trimmed it before hand. so ohh well
but its worth the tq gains IMO
its a REAL snug fit though

just trim a little bit off your radiator support and you'll be fine

It all depends on the block/mounts used.
