You can feel the very hot air pouring out the hole in the hood around the air cleaner. The air is being forced out by the radiator fan.
The isolator seals off the hole in the hood to block the hot air. Should be good for some free horsepower.
This aluminum backed foam board is used to insulate home exteriors. It weighs about zero ounces - maybe less.

I dressed the edges with some aluminum tape.

Durability is still to be determined.
