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 can not attest to these on an actual dyno, however, I had a hondata intake manifold gasket on my gsr along with the typical IHE and a flywheel/clutch. When i installed the gasket I gained ~1 mph doing my typical test getting onto the highway. I had repeated this many times before and after the gasket with the same results.

BTW I have since sold my gsr and I am comming back to a 6gc. I am looking for a celica and cant wait as Im driving my jeep daily right now which is killing me on gas
