I'm wondering if the gains from the website are factual? Anyone experience any power increase or is it more regaining of lost power?

 

according to johntypes from this thread and his dyno runs after each mod

"outlaw eng thermoblock no change"

i'm sure it does help with heat transfer but i'm not sure of the actual numbers.

 

^which is strange since the manifold spacers act as plenum spacers, which on other cars usually produce at least some increase in HP. The chart on Outlaw's website for the CL is so outta wack it's hard for me to believe it.

 

Well I just ordered some yesterday so I hope they work.

 

I don't know, from what I've gathered from all the threads on thermoblock spacers, it seems more like a mod to do after you've exhausted all other mods. I doubt you'll get any true + hp numbers.

 

TB spacers are about like the other cooling mods you'll just regain some hp loss in the power band due to the heat transfer off the IM to the spacers etc. You won't see real additional hp.

 

The intake charge stays cooler resulting in less heat soak. Any HP change would be relative to someone saying they gained 20 hp off aftermarket mufflers.

 

It does keep the intake mani a lot cooler I have to admit. after i put mine on, there was a definite difference when it came to touching it. Before, you could not even hold your hand on the mani it burn so much. Now with them on, its hot on hot days yes, but its a lot cooler than before. You can actually touch it and hold your hand there. On cold days, the mani is pretty much cold.

 

which is possible if they're FI.... maybe not 20hp but more than average... haha
