Heat Barrier Intake Manifold Gasket
How much are the actual temps affected by reduced intake manifold temps.......honestly from my understanding the air in the manifold is moving.....and it is moving crazy fast......so can that air heatsoak from the manifold?
We have been working on sourcing a phenolic that has a melting temp of 600C, which is far superior to the plastic ones that dominate the car industry. This is military grade stuff, so if we do bring it to market, it will be way more expensive. It should be more durable, and hopefully won't have EGR blow-outs like some.

If you can bring it to the market, then people will come in droves to buy it

Weve been using a gasket similar to what milspec has described on our purpose built porsche race cars and our somewhat more "serious" street cars.I have not used any of the gaskets offered to the Evo community, but in our case with the porsches it did lower temps a good bit.
where are you seeing lower temps. Colder air temps just befoe the valve, or are you seeing a cooler intake manifold? The phoenalic material is real messy to cut, I would probably look at cutting it with a mill over a laser.
