Wrapping the intake in insulation.....

[Michael Williams <daserde@ucla.edu>]

Hey all, has anyone ever thought of wrapping the intake manifold in some 
heat shielding?  I notice that the intake is extremely hot after driving, 
and i was thinking that maybe if some heat shielding was used, i could 
lower the temp.  Would that make any kind of a difference?  It would 
lower the temp of the intake charge wouldnt it?

anyway, lemme know what you think.

later...
