A 4C/7.2F-10C/18F degree change in air temperature (increase or decrease) will cause a 1-3% horsepower change. These gaskets will lower the temperature of the intake manifold by at least 11C/20F and benefit both naturally aspirated & forced induction environments.
(heat screen washers are not included but are available for an additional $5.00 for a set of 9)
