    That's a LOT of silicone! Bet it wasn't cheap!

    Nice work, regardless. Should do well against heat soaking. My damn intake is hot to touch in this weather. ugh!

    (all aluminum):

    Heat soak doesn't come from the material your intake is made of. That cools as soon as you start moving. The MAF is what heatsoaks. If you notice, in this intake it's sitting right over the upper radiator hose. Can't tell by the MAF if a HSRK is installed.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    Just a GT

    Get it installed and post some pics and some before and after 1/4 mile runs.

    I went 13.15 @ 107.2 with only a Tune in 2100DA and cutting a 2.04 60'

    After the intake on the same tune I went 13.09 @ 107.9 with a 2.06 60' in 3100DA launching from an idle. The tires BLOW UP on the 1-2 shift and chirp pretty good on the 2-3. Its time for some sticky tires and some rear suspension upgrades. I will post a video of the run soon.
