I was wodnering if you all had any suggestions for minimizing the amounnt of heat my intake tube is absorbing. I was thinking duct tape? header tape traps the heat from leaving pipes....so I dont think its applicable hear, as Im trying to repel heat. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Well Im going to assume your intake is the stock rubber one, so its not getting any heat soak. *If* you wanted to wrap it in header wrap that would achieve the effect you are thinking you need. Its a thermal barrier, keeps whats in, in. And what out, out. But its pointless.

no, I have a 4 inch aluminum intake tube, and yes it does absorb alot of heat. Header wrap will achieve this? Even if I can lower it by a few degrees ill be happy.

Well what your trying to do is keep the heat out, so yes, header wrap will work just fine.

are you seeing loss through it?....my problem with heat soak is that unless you sit in the staging lane at the track forever, or roll race at 5 mph...its not a real issue....when your cars moving...its got alot of air moving over and moving the heat off anyways....this is why you car moves from 180-210 from driving to sitting, anywhere in that range...(hook it up to live and watch it)
