On a 32 degree day my intake temps get up to 48 degree c from the wait of the staging lanes stop starting after a run my intake temps generally go up 2 degrees I think I might buy 10 gel bags and stick them in the esky full of ice after every run sit the gel bags on the intake manifold does anyone else think the alloy intake manifold generates to much heat from the engine.
