http://www.hondata.com/heatshield.htmlif it works then a 5% hp increase would mean 189hp for GTS owners (i suppose more gains with people who already have intake and exhaust) ![eek eek](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/eek.gif) ...but i'm skeptical this little piece of plastic does what it does...or at least does it as well as hondata claims ![thumbsdown thumbsdown](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsdown.gif) . what do you guys think? ![idunno idunno](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/idunno.gif)

The Hondata heatshield gasket has nothing but great reviews from other Si owners. It significantly lowers intake charge temp.
My lugnuts require more torque than my Honda produces.

I'll volunteer to go through the pain of installing it in my car if everyone chips in for a "group test". ![rofl rofl](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/rotf.gif)
