It looked and felt like teflon to me. The one the sold me was white not blue.
It doesn't seem to work. I'll know for sure tomorrow.

It does not look like Teflon. Take the temp readings and post them.

After a few of minutes at idle the intake runners were 105 degrees the head next to the intake manifold was 108. As the head got hotter the runners the runners got hotter to.
I didn't have the temp gun before but I think the runners stayed cooler longer, till they eventually heat soaked.

It may be too thin; the spacer looks more for a street/OEM application and it may need to be thicker for your application.
Just make your own heat spacer from a thick sheet of Black Nylon 66.

The spacer is about .300 thick. How thick is the Black Nylon 66?

It's available in many thicknesses.

Hey Art, in your class are you allowed coatings ?

Ive got some waterbased ceramic that is a heat dissapation coating, stuff works great. Ive got about a half gallon of the goo left, coating the intake inside and out I can almost guarentee a big heat soak drop......problem is once it does the stuff works the other way around and will hold it in, but it takes a lot longer ? Why kill the water passage ?

Hi Chris

Yes I'm allowed to do anything I want to the manifold. But In the not to distant future I'll be going to a 4 throttlebody setup (that was really what I wanted the spacer for). So I'm not going to waste a lot of time on my stock type intake.

Gotcha, hey Art on that note, if youre going to have them made how about outta a thermoplastic ? Or do any of the OE setups come that way ? Just a thought....
