Was curious after seeing pictures of the Nowack engines that they had coated the underside of the airbox with reflective material for added cooling. Thought I'd give the trick a try.
So far gas mileage has improved a bit. Definitely feels like it's running in winter mode!:atom

Very nice job. Do those intake runners come out one at a time or all in one piece? One article said that the heat shielding was good for 30+HP.

Intake runners are individually attached. Each with 2 lock nuts.

Wow ... that looks like it was alot of work, but it definitley looks beneficial. That will help keep the heat away ...

I wonder what kinda power gains are there now....
