I just thought I'd do a 5S-FE search on Ebay and look what I came up with!!!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW "This gasket was engineered to reduce the heat transfer between the Head and the intake manifold. The result is much cooler/denser intake charge, higher horsepower and greater reliability. You can expect as much as a 5% increase in horsepower with the use of this gasket." Knowing what I do I can safely say there is absolutely NO WAY that will EVER hold up to the claim. Compressed thickness on that gasket is probably about .040" and that will have NO effect on air at all. There's a sucker born every minute, don't be one of them. -------------------- |

Not to be a prick or anything, but I don't believe it. It may help hold back heat transfer from the head to the manifold, but I highly doubt enough to actually give a performance gain. Show me proof and I'll believe it. "My buddy said" and "the manifold was pretty chill" don't count, sorry.
