P2R Throttle Body Gasket

I was considering getting the P2R throttle body spacer, but I've decided against it. Now I am just plan on getting the throttle body gasket, and I was just wondering if the stock bolts and studs will be long enough? I already ordered the P2R Plenum gasket, and I was wondering if the throttle body gasket will help with the heat soak from the engine?

My IAT are already pretty good when I'm not stuck in stop and go traffic; I normally average about 15º-20º.

Yes the gasket will work with the stock hardware. You only need longer hardware when you do the spacer.

Would you happen to know what size hardware I'll need? I assume it's like m10 x 1.25 thread pitch.

save your money ! some guys have reported the gasket melting and causing vacuum issues.. I have one in there, so far no problems but it really didnt make much of a difference. If i wasnt lazy i would remove it.

I think I will save my money. I already have the plenum gasket on the way, and I hope that doesn't melt.

BukvaMan, quick question for you. Did the people you heard about that had the P2R gasket melt, did they have the coolant routed through the throttle body or did they bypass it?
