I personally didn't do any tests or temperature readings. I just used my hand to feel the plenum and see how hot it would get after some heat soak before and after installation. Not a very noticeable drop IMO. The plenum went from burning hot to just barely too hot for you to keep your hand on

I did a bunch of temp readings with the beta version... Data is on Driver somewhere... I have it on home computer but I'm not at home right now... the temps are definitely lower with the Iso Termal kit... if you want the data you can do a search on G35Driver... or I'll post here later if I remember...

5/16 MD here.

Not Iso-thermal. I couldn't tell you the difference anyway. It lowers the temperature, thats all I know about that.
