yeah it says L36 Camaro/Forumla, but it is the correct shape on the runners.

here is what bugs me..

They say that they are using Garolite instead of the normal "PHENOLIC INSULATORS" because while ratining the same thermal absorbsion properties it is more resistnt to chemiclas etc etc etc. but from a study I have read a 1/4 inch phenolic spacer blocked the same amount of heat as a 1/2 inch spacer. This means that already your adding more hight then needed. I would feel better about it if it were a 1/4 inch peice. The other thing to consider is this. Will your stock bolts have enough thread to take up that extra 1/2 inch?

those bolts are about 3-4inches long i would think so lol

there are a few other things that bug me. but it's getting far into things like flow rate, thermal expantion and volumetric efficiency reduction that are getting to be over my head. I am going to ahve to oursource the help of some friends and see what some people dramticly smarter then me says.

The debate is ongoing. I will post up what I find and the end conclusion. It might take a few more days tho.

Whats intriguing is that they made a firebird formula with a 3800 series II engine according to cheetah.

[img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img] The Formula is ALWAYS a V8, with a Firebird body. NO Formula was EVER made with a V6! Their Ad is just wrong - should say "Firebird".

I know this, I was just messing around....Would really like to see where this research is going HBH. Any breaking news?

well.. The concensus is..It will work, but probably not much. There are not really any adverse side effects, but the gains would probably be marginal at best. The only real good way that it would work is kinda the same idea as a low temp thermo. It will still get just as hot with time, but takes longer to get there. If you can keep it cool you will probably yeild some gains. The theory is sound. but practicality is low. I would conisder the TB spacer something fast and easy. But to warrent the intake spacer I would say it would only be worth it after you have exhausted all the "better" mods.

i was thinking about it for the turbo but it one more point for something to fail
