ThermoBlok Kit

[golhap27]

I was looking at the outlaw engineering thermoblok kit from a link on this site and i was wondering if It would work as well as it says. It seems like an easy hp upgrade for only 105$ It replaces the stock intake manifold and throttlebody gaskets and cools them down by 35 degrees and it says it will add around 10hp and 12.5lb of torque

what do you all think? or if you have it does it work?

I know it will not acutally ADD hp. What it does is keep the intake cooler than stock. The hotter the incoming air the less HP you have and so keeping it cooler does not add HP in my opinion, it just keeps it from decreasing as much when the engine warms up. I use them and think they work well. I did not notice any difference in power after installing them, but even if they did add 10HP it wouldn't be enough to feel.
That said, I think they are worth the money.

Like patdiesel said it won't really add HP but is more like a HP loss preventer. They do keep the mani cooler for sure. I now have the inverted cf hood that makes for some nice airflow in the engine compartment. With the extra airflow and spacers, the mani stays cool enough to hold your hand on it even after hours of hard driving. No way in hell was that possible b4. Just like other small upgrades, its not the individual upgrade, its all the upgrades together that makes the difference.
