[s-cars] Phenolic Intake Manifold Spacers

[CLAG500@aol.com]

I've had them on an Acura with a V6 for a year or so. When I get done  
driving the manifold is cool to the touch. Gets a little warm if the  car idles for 
a while. Benefits performance by not losing performance when  the manifold 
gets heat soaked. I thought a lot of the heat on a turbo car was  from the turbo 
though?

You'd  think it would have to help.  I was pretty surprised at the dragstrip  
that even with 45 minutes between runs, the IM was still too hot to touch for 
 long.

Of course, there's no substitute for real data to support the  validity of 
the part.
