If I recall, there is a particular Perth WRX owner that made a ridiculous amount of power on a VF series turbo and an EJ207 a few years ago..

If anything, they increase efficiency and the secret is to keep the heat in where it should be, and keep it out of where it shouldn't be.

It's a diminishing return when building a car, after making the big mods, the small things cost a lot for minimal gains.... so when you can get something that might gain you 1HP (or at least keep your car making its maximum HP even when things start heating up), for $25, then that's good going.. people spend $500 on things for a few HP without even battering an eyelid (silicone intakes for example), so IMHO, this mod (and phenolic spacers) is an absolute no brainer.

I just don't see the head tank pushing huge amounts of heat through those tine mounting points.

logs and pretty graphs would sway me.

Whatever performance increase there owuld be from this would be negated to the extra weight of the spacers.

Right. That's about as effective as lighting a fart to warm your house up...

And $25 for two pints of beer? Booiwlshit

Also, I'd be more worried about your motor frying up after your header tank falls off.
