Wow, that's a lot of weather stripping. That much hot air from the engine is allowed with their shield huh? Look more and more like this will be a show piece only.

Reminds me of Summit Racing Equipment. One product keeps your exhaust manifolds cooler for "better performance" and another on a separate page keeps the heat in for "better performance".

People make fortunes by selling you guys parts that don't work.

The one nice thing about it is that it gave me a place to mount my zex nitrous controller

I heard that NASA is now using those special filters on the new space vehicle. It added several thousand pounds of thrust.

Wow...what a prize to find such information in this forum!

Ok, ordered the elbow from Caldoofy. The Mina intake kit arrived today also but I am going to wait until the elbow arrives to install.

Happy New Years to you as well. Yes, we should set something up. With clears skies this time lol
