Phenolic Spacer question if any?

Thats a good idea. we should all order them lol... I did notice on my car that the intake manifold and throttle body get really hot, too hot to touch even a while after the car has been off. that probably isnt to good for power. maybe its cause the manifold goes right over the top of the engine and then the header....but if its insulated from the block it might stop a good ammount of heat from transferring.

I have a Ford Probe which has popup lights like the Supra does. One thing I did to keep the engine bay cool and keep my manifold cooler was take the headlights out and put foglights in for replacement. Looks good on a Probe plus keeps air running in the engine bay to keep it cool. This is a good mod if u like the look and u dont have a custom vented hood. I also cut two 2" strips out where the hood and windshields join or where the weather striping is for a constant flow. Believe it or not, not alot of water gets in the back of the engine bay.
