Message	issue, then you have pressure drop AND an oven to pass the air thru to the combustion chambers What you really need is some sort of thermal barrier between the plenum and the rest of the engine...or maybe thermal barrier coat the combustion chamber itself along with as much engine bay heat management as possible....a lot of work just to keep the plenum from cooking air as opposed to not powdercoating it. But until we see some actual IAT data this is all theoretical. 30 years ago...or now? "I torch my soul to show the world that I am pure deep inside my heart...." --William Patrick Corgan
