Don't forget the phenolic heat-barrier gasket for that intake manifold!

They work quite well, the difference in manifold temp was night/day at autocross with my IX.

Looking forward to seeing the end result... After doing all these mods are you worried about the tranny and or your warranty? Just curious as I'm unsure how crazy I want to go with mine.

z06 fast would be perfect. I had a new E63 (which is one of my dream cars right behind CLS63) pull on me the other day. Kind of depressing. I need 500hp as well

You'll need more than 400whp to be faster than a Z06, you'd need about 450whp to be even with one.

About 370-380whp will get you there pretty easily
