Have you taken the temps of the airboxes while the car was sitting? If so, what were they? Have you taken temps of around town driving? If so, what were they? Have you taken ANY temps of the airboxes at all? If so ... what were they? Every degree cooler is going to result in power, if only by a marginal amount.

That's because, on a 90 degree day, sitting at a redlight for a few minutes, your IAT's may rise to 150 degrees or more.

A quote from Modshack above... 150 degrees or more... now why would heat shielding help with that Zed? Hmmmm, doesn't seem to take a rocket scientist does it?
