I don't think it "gains" you anything. It helps prevent you from "losing" as much.

Now, don't go putting words into what I tried to say. Just because it doesn't actually add any HP, doesn't mean it's "not good". Insulation against heating up the intake charge is never a bad thing.

The S2000 is prone to heat soak. bad. You can lose what feels like 40HP because of this. The ECU is acting to protect the motor when the intake charge gets too hot.

the gasket will prevent most of this. it is not an easy install, though.

I've been very happy with my gasket. Although install is a serious pain, I would wait until you have the engine torn down for one reason or another before looking to install this.
