For those of you who are into trying to keep the engine and intake charge cooler I found today while doing a tear down on my lacuna prepping for a power adder install that there are two cosmetic barriers installed under the factory intake.
It's a wall made of the same material which is a dense foam. The walls are there for cosmetic reasons and are about two to three inches thick. I removed them as these things can only trap heat between the lower intake area the runners leading to the heads and the valley area of the motor.
I Found that removing these makes the engine better looking too. Intakes showing the longer and tall tunnel ram styling now..
Hope some one can prove that it might help keep some temps lower. Or at least keep the temps lower a little bit longer.
I can't seen any way that removing them would hurt
pics can be taken but I can not post them.
