Purpose is to isolate the heat exchange from the block (technically the block and coolant) and intake manifold.
Pro: Cooler intake temp
Con: PITA to install even with the amazing instructions provide here.

I'm planning to get it when I have a chance to get a set of 06 TB + IM.
So what about Head Gasket? I heard it can increase the Engine Compression and make a few whp out of it. Any ideas?

I found the install to be fairly easy. Probably because I have removed and installed the IM atleast a dozen times. I first installed the Hondata then the 06 IM and TB then the Power Rev Racing gasket on seperate occassions. I also helped Shaang do his install too

the install really is a PITA if you've never removed your manifold before, I wouldn't suggest doing it unless you're taking off the manifold for another installation at the same time.
the powerrev gasket is easier however, i believe no coolant flush is required

Correct, for the Pwer Rev gasket no draining of coolant is required
