IM gasket?

http://www.heat-guard.com/ShowGaskets.aspx?make=1

Does it really reduce heat soak into the IM and give gains? Worth the money?

Does it work? I little, yes. Assume 1-3hp on a good day.

Worth it? Not really. That money could be going towards a better power gain. Plus installation is a bitch.

1 hp for $30 sounds good to me. Thanks.

Labor is a pain in the *** on intake manifolds. Just FYI.

Plastic gaskets are definitely worth it. They're reuseable and they don't fuse to the head like paper ones do.

Re: (Enzo Speed)

yes, just the fact that it is reuseable is worth it. Everyone always says that the IM is a pain in the ***. Am I the only one who can remove theirs in less than an hour?
