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. -------------------- |

I think that either way, on our specific cars, especially a fully stock 5s-fe, there are not going to be many benefits compared to guys with sr20's, VR4's, and all that kinda stuff. If you're running a highly turbo'd 5s-fe then maybe, but still it's not going to be much of a stock gain.
