aiboart Member 665 Member For: 20y 3m 9d Posted 29/03/13 01:03 AM Share Posted 29/03/13 01:03 AM (edited) Reflective fibreglass tape on the intake tubes and airbox seems to reduce power-loss when moving off during hot weather.Even better is to couple the above with reflective fibreglass cloth sleeves over the intake tubes. This provides a second reflective barrier and a dead air zone between the tubes and the cloth.I have been running the above for years and the effect in hot conditions appears to be quite significant.
