Anyone doing?

Any special cooling or heat reflecting with thermal/reflective blankets? I am thinking of doing the firewall and the top of my "Y" pipe.

don't worry I'm not subscribed

O sorry I forgot the useful information
make your engine bay as shinny and reflective as you can so it all soaks into the engine but you'll stay nice and cool inside... if you do anything just do over the Y. I'd take a bit of heat soak into the dash to avoid baking my engine any more then necessary

Well I was thinking of doing a little on the firewall. Maybe the A/C box too. But where the K/N CAI intake/filter is needs to be insulated too. Also reflecting from the header collector a little, maybe just a small piece to push it forward. There is a lot of space around the front of the engine. And I've been thinking of incorperating the A/C condenser into the intake system?

The K&N is already insulated into the wheel well, why junk up the engine bay with heat shielding? The other sentences make no sense to me. And incorporating the A/C into your intake....yea that's what all the fast guys do. Why know just encapsulate the intake system in CO2 or dry ice?

Well to me incorperating the A/C's cool line into the intake system is the logical choice. If you have not removed it.

Yes, well you know when you run the A/C the condenser line is cool. So I think all you have to do is run a line in-between the "high" and "low" pressure valves and the line will get cold. Then run it in-between the coolent passages on bottom of the TB?

What? Seems everyone is doing the TB bypass (except me) than you might as well run CO2 or refrigerant through it!
And then it would probably cool the whole intake manifold, but not too much or things might split/crack?

but then the intake is gonna get cold and condensation will form in it and then you'll have water in the intake, duh.
