Perhaps a direct call may produce some info.

Yup NO #s.... why am I not surprised???? This stuff could have the R-Value of a napkin for all we know...along I might add with the price tag of Solid Gold!! It is a curse ..wanting to dig in and actually get some performance numbers on this stuff. I guess the years in E-school and working in engineering have taught me not to just rely on hear-say. Show me the numbers!!! I am having the same issue with A/C selection for this car. All ya get is non quantifiable generalities..."this is better than that" but for me at least answers like that one are worth very little.
I wonder how folks can just throw this stuff in and "hope" it is gonna do the job? This all started with a friend of mine doing a 34 Ford. He has HUGE $$$$$$$ in the car and he admits skimping on the insulation. He is REALLY kicking himself for not getting it right and I want very much to avoid the same fate with this GTO I am working on.
Sound attenuation is certainly important, I am more and more spoiled by my wifes Lexus 400 Series. On the same note however the A/C in her car is awesome. Seems to me there is no reason ya cannot get the sound attenuation and insulation if ya just search long enough.
