Just curious how the h*ll does a gasket add 3 hp or any hp for that matter? I bet somewhere some poor kid is buying headlights thinking it will increase his horsepower........

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

The IM gasket is like an insulator... which is pretty useless since the IM is plastic to begin with. The point of those is to block the heat from transfering from the head to the IM... but plastic is a pretty good insulator as it is. I don't think it'll do anything.
