Thread: Intake anyone..?

Tweet

Well with our class restrictions, i would say he was running out at around 6200 and thats being generous. I think the bigger worry is keeping the intake air cool, and that those big long runners act as a heat sink. We find with our victor junior and one inch spacer that having good cool intake air and painting the underside and runners of the manifold with ceramic heat insulating paint it gives a slight edge,but i must add that the scutineers are frowning.

have you considered using a peltier block to cool your intake? you could get her down to about 45*s with one, the big problem then would be keeping the heat from the topside of the block from interfering with intake air temp

We would have to look at the rule book on that one. But as it turns out Dave wants to run it on a 383 street engine so the scrutineers rules dont apply

yeah i'm not sure about there being regulations against electromagnetic cooling
