I was reading a few posts about heatsoak, I forgot who it was, but their theory was that the air getting sucked in dosent have the time to get soaked because of its rapid movement. Similiar to moving your finger through a candle flame fast. On the other hand, idling in traffic, etc is more prone to getting heat soaked cause the air within the intake is sitting there, moving slowly and then having the opportunity to get heat soaked.
Either way, nothing that nitrous cant fix

actually i wouldnt worry about it being delayed.. i went to BBK in Corona CA, and i spoke with a rep about the new TPI intake that they are making too.. seems that they have started all new products for Mustang, Camaro, ect and basically all years of Fuel injection for each line.. they are understaffed and i think a little over their heads with all these new products that all have a relatively close release date. they pushed back the TPI intake as well.

I have also talked to the BBK people and they have been really busy making other products on their CNC machine, and they also moved their machining plant recently. I heard we should hear results soon.
