I read the link, but since when has anyone had tuning problems that they needed to be concerned with keeping heads and the block the exact same temperature?

Or do you want to use a copper gasket because they are strong and more flexable? I dont understand why though. OEM gaskets are great.

Meh, whatever. It still aint got nothin on that copper spray lol

Must be a drunken Broncos fan. Tough game huh?

I am actually interested in the conduction of heat away from the intake also.

I read the link and restated everything bad about copper headgaskets.

Benefits to them? Almost 0.

And in the grand scheme of things why are we all so worried about heat anyway. Detonation? More power? Some other reason?

Truthfully lowering charge air tempatures 10 degrees will equate to about 2% horsepower increase at the wheels. 2% of Jasons 500 is still only 10 wheel horsepower.
