Yeah I wasn't going to bring that up...Dudes, everybody has to read the 1st post carefully. It comes with longer bolts AND gaskets.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.
Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition... You haven't got them completed, so they aren't to be exclusive... Mine are ready to go...

I was unsure if I should post this, but.... we have plastic intake manifolds. I ran phenolic spacers on my Subaru (http://www.uniquemotorsports.com/subach ... pacers.htm) for a few years and yes they definately keep the intake manifold cooler. Thing is, with a plastic intake, it's not going to heat up. That's one of the advantages to a plastic intake manifold. That said, how is this going to help keep the engine cool on an Aveo when there is no heat transfer anyway? Am I the only one with a plastic intake manifold?
saying there's NO heat transfer is a stretch. Obviously plastic/composite is less conducive to energy than metal.
Has anyone done multiple dyno pulls to actually see if there is or isn't a noticeable drop in power between the first and last pulls?
Another good way to test would be with the use a temp gun, I think. Check the manifold temp at warm idle (before driving, but after warm up). Drive for 20-30minutes, check again. Drive for another 20-30minutes, check again.

I said that (composite manifold). Just by touch, it stays pretty cool to the touch, both the manifold and TB (with the coolant lines bypassed) after a 1 hr city driving jaunt this weekend.
We did dyno pulls with our Probe we had, and on a stock engine (I/E/H) we got a 7hp increase. We threw on our ported manifold and got a 25hp increase total...

does a probe use a plastic manifold?
My custom metal intake is HOT to the touch because it was not coated..while i have touched plastic intakes that were at operating temp that were warm...but not HOT.

No probe is Cast Aluminum... thought he meant in general...
Does this mean I can post in your threads as long as no bashing is occurring?
