DING!

i have 10mm phenolic spacers insulating my IM from the heads. no heat soak what so ever now, until you park. then obviously everything heatsoaks.

before the intake mani would get so hot you couldnt touch it after driving. now it stays ice cold.

My 318i's M42 has a thermal isolator from the factory. It also doesn't make 1000hp, so I'm not sure how effective their factory solution is. The viper is limited by it's fairly old fashion archetecture engine. 4 valves just open a lot of doors i terms of performance.
