Thinking about doing this to my PMAS. It couldn't hurt......

Where did you get that little foam square that sits on the intake tube after the filter?I copied 66sprint6’s design and drove around until I could find what he used, Lowe’s had this rubber pipe insulation that has adhesive on both sides (not that you really need it) and bends really well. Here are some before and after shots. This helped my iat’s stay low at idle and they would drop a lot faster then before. I have the Velossa funnel and drilled out most of the honeycomb in the triangle of the grill. So far I’d say this rubber insulation has been the biggest improvement for getting temps down vs the Velossa. They work together now and don’t let and cool air escape out of the top of the JLT box when you’re moving.
That piece is from JLT directly, they include it in their new kits but I had to order it since I bought mine before they had it. This rubber seal will help your temps A LOT. Best part is it’s cheap!Where did you get that little foam square that sits on the intake tube after the filter?
BTW. I'm going to try this. My IATs will stay 10-20 above ambient but as soon as I stop they will go up and it takes a long cruise to bring them back down.
Dude. IT REALLY WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!. HAHAAHThat piece is from JLT directly, they include it in their new kits but I had to order it since I bought mine before they had it. This rubber seal will help your temps A LOT. Best part is it’s cheap!
I was surprised how well it worked too! It's about 90-95 degrees here also, mine will stay at 6 degrees over ambient while cruising and then jump about 10-18 over ambient while at stop light depending on how long i'm sitting there and then drop really quickly. The JLT foam should help the creeping a little since it fills those semi large gaps. For $6 i'll replace the foam if it starts looking ratty in a year or so. I'm making the switch to the JLT Dry Filter as well, I feel like the paper wont hold heat as much as the oiled filter and i'm just tired of messing with the oiled filters.Dude. IT REALLY WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!. HAHAAH
It stayed at around 8-10 above ambient. A a stop light it got up to 112-115* but it's 100* outside. Fuckin hot.
Normally it would get into the 130 at a stop light and would take forever to come back down.
Now I did run into a store to get a few things. Come back, turn the car on and the IAT's were at 130ish. So I guess it got heat soaked but it drop down into the teens after a short period of driving.
I'm curious to see what the JLT foam piece does. Should be here this week.
It actually looks almost factory and yeah I have enough left over to do another one. lolI was surprised how well it worked too!

I think so. The pipe tubing comes in 3 sizes but the size pictured above seems to work the best.I'm assuming this would work on a PMAS intake?
I saw a guy at the track last week who has the heat tape/ wrap inside the box and outside the tubing just like WhiteyDog’s. If I were FI or tracking a lot more I would give it a try but for now I’m pretty satisfied with just the hood sealing better. All great ideas on here though!I thought about using the heat reflective wrap and tape. I used it on my old car a supercharged Grand Prix.
It seemed to work even with the open air intake, but I think it a lot more cooler air than the Mustang.
Just got the JLT foam piece in. I would test it out but we are about to get a Hurricane so maybe next week if the car is still around. hahahaI saw a guy at the track last week who has the heat tape/ wrap inside the box and outside the tubing just like WhiteyDog’s.

Did you use plexi-glass for your lid? I still might want to do that.I did several other things to help with underhood temps and better overall cooling. I just like to fool with stuff to see if I can improve things. But closing off an open CAI definitely helps.
