Default Phenolic Spacer

Available for every car except for ours, apparently
Does anyone have, or have information regarding Phenolic Spacer options for SC400s?
Supposed to keep the intake air cool by keeping the intake manifold and trottle body cool.
I've been told noticeable gains achieved for relatively low cost.

A company named HELIX makes those throttle body spacers for most applications. Im not if they make them for the SC but if they dont we can always ask them to make one if there is enough interest. Throttle body spacers are common among domestics. These spacers are cut a certain way on the inside so that the air being sucked in is sucked in a circular, tornado-like motion. This item is ideal for those who are high compression or for those have forced induction.

yea but i feel there is more gain from the intake manifold spacer. you want to keep heat away from the intake air.
